After my Samsung A5 Duos fell in the water for 2-3 secs, I dried it with paper towels and put it in a bag with a silica gel pack and rice overnight. Then I charged my phone, it was back to normal for around 10 secs and switched to Safe Mode. There was also a warning screen about downloading a custom OS that appeared a few times. My phone was also powering off and restarting on its own. What should I do?

what files? photos?
Maybe overnight wasn't enough to dry it completely. Try a week, to try and ensure that all moisture is out of everything. Assuming something is not already shorted and fried.
going forward i would recommend that you use google photos. it automatically stores them on the cloud and when you get a new device or factory reset your device and sign in they will be there once everything is synced up. i never ever have to worry about my photos again.
not sure what you can do at this point. like mikedt said i would power it off, but it back in a plastic bag with rice and leave it there for a bit longer. if that does not work then maybe it is time to upgrade.
