If you are unable to get the iPhone to do anything (power-up, etc.), you may need to put the phone in recovery mode first.


With the phone off, you will press and hold the side button (the same button you would hold down for Siri).


As you're holding down the button, plug the phone into your computer.


Once you see the Recovery Mode Screen (below), let go of the side button.



If you see the passcode screen, you would want to start over by turning off the phone.


Once recovery mode is complete, you will have the option to either update or restore your phone as seen here in step 4:
