You should have left it dry instead of turning it on, you probably have corrosion now, find a local place that works on phones to see if they'd work on it.
If you want to try to completely dry it, put it in rice for 24 hours minimum to draw out all moisture.

Sounds like it is done for, yes. I know a way to save electronics if they are dumped in water, but it requires to fill it with water replacing fluids. Putting it in pure alcohol right away (remove battery first) might save it, as ir should replace the water and then evaporate completey when you take it out. Some contacts have probably corroded in your phone, so unless you are (or know) a repairman of electronics you'll probably need a new phone. :-/

if the phone didn't get wet or u can't see a visibly broken screen then ur lcd may still be working, u simply may need to re seat the ribbon cable that connects the lcd by un screwin the 4 screws that hold the display n pryin in open from the mid section of each side then use somthing flat to lift the connector n replacing it pressin firmly.

Unfortunately it may be too late...the phone should have been turned off the battery should be taken out as soon as it was taken out of the water...this keeps circuits from shorting out...
BUT...it never hurts to try everything...
Place the phone in a sealed container full of uncooked rice, and leave it there for at LEAST 3 days...thats 72 hours of not powering it up...as tempting as it is to "check"
You have to give the rice time to draw out any moisture.
Hope this helps.
