I accidentally clicked emergency override when I was notified that there was liquid in the lightning port. How do I turn off the emergency override or how do I know if the liquid is dried up and the phone is solely charging on its own?

Apple doesn't exactly say how to turn it off, if it can be turned off. They don't recommend charging the phone if liquid has been detected. At least not through the USB Charging port. Wireless charging is OK, as long as the back of the phone is dry.
If the phone was actually wet, it should honestly be turned off and put in a dry warm place for a day or so and hope it didn't suffer permanent damage. DO NOT place it in rice. That is NOT recommended and cause more damage.
To be completely safe, it would be recommended to schedule an appointment at your Apple Store Genius Bar for evaluation.

I accidentally pressed emergency override, but quickly disconnected my phone. I restarted it and plugged the charger back in, it’s charging now. I saw people saying their phone wouldn’t charge after pressing the override option. Does that mean my phones good ? Or does the damage take place afterwards
You didn't answer my question asking if the phone actually got wet? If it did, it may be OK or may not be OK. Water intrusion can take time and if it got wet inside the phone, it could cause permanent and irreversible damage.
Again, if the phone actually got wet, you should schedule an appointment at your Apple Store Genius Bar to have the phone checked out.
Give it a few days to dry, preferably somewhere with moving dry air.
No rice.
Then schedule an appointment.
Given water damage and corrosion (and the emergency override), you may well be headed for a replacement.
Adding on to MrHoffman, you are likely looking at a new iPhone as water damage usually cannot be repaired. Even if your iPhone is still functioning now, eventually the water will destroy your entire iPhone and stop working. But still, make an appointment as soon as possible just in case.
Yes it got wet, and I pressed the override option for id say 15 seconds then quickly disconnected it
Then do as we suggest and schedule an appointment.
How do I turn off emergency override after liquid in iPhone Lightning port ?
