Nobody will know what to replace until you open it up and inspect it, to check what damage has occurred.
The impurities in the water causes corrosion and provides circuit paths for the electricity which were not in the console's operating design and could damage the components. The corrosion starts immediately and is ongoing until it is completely cleaned away
First do not connect power to or try to turn on your console to minimize any further damage.
Then you need to dis-assemble the console and clean all the affected parts using Isopropyl Alcohol 99%+ (available at electronics parts stores) to remove all traces of corrosion and water. If possible do not use "rubbing alcohol" as in some cases this is only 70% IPA or less, can contain additives which may leave conductive residues and is not as effective. If you do have to use it check the label to verify the amount of IPA. The higher the percentage of IPA the better
Here is a link that describes what happens. Electronics Water Damage
As always with electronics, especially surface mounted pcb be gentle when handling and especially when brushing away the corrosion. You do not want to remove any components from the board. Remove the shields that may be covering some components as the water may have got in under there. The ends of any flex cables and their connectors need to be cleaned as well
Hopefully after you have done all this it might possibly work correctly again.
Not sure if you have an Xbox One X as stated in your question or an Xbox One X Scorpio Edition as the device you selected so here are both, the ifixit Xbox One X and Xbox One X Project Scorpio Edition repair guides that may help.
If this process seems too daunting, take your console to a reputable, professional electronics repair service, experienced in liquid damage repair and ask for a quote for a repair. If you decide to do this, do it sooner than later.
