S8 not charging anymore

So I've had my S8 since the fall and it's been great. I was going to a concert yesterday and noticed that my phone kept on switching from charging to not charging. I left it be a proceeded to continue onto the concert. When I got back home, I noticed that phone wouldn't charge. It was at 2 percent and it didn't go up. I was using the cable and brick provided with the phone. After using different cables and bricks, nothing seemed to work. After a bit, I noticed the phone would instantly shut off once I plug it in, no matter where and there would be a small high pitched noise emitting from the top microphone.  With the cable plugged in, I couldn't power it on, not even the soft reboot would do it. When I took the cable out and soft reboot it worked but the phone was still low battery. 

The weirdest thing is, the wireless charging did not even work either. When I would put the phone on the pad, nothing happened even though the blue light was on. And when its off, when on the pad, the phone would show a notification that its charging, then show the percentage, then it would turn off, then repeat; the percentage was still going lower.

 

Considering I have not installed any apps recently or updated, or even drop the phone or put it through water, I believe its the battery, but I do not know how it happened. Might just bring it to a repair shop if need be. 

 

Let me know if anyone has insights.
