Was out fishing tonight, had my S10+ plugged into the power when I smelled electrical melting. Thought it was the cable but it was not. Smell was coming from the S10+ port. Now the port does not work but can charge on a ventev charger.

Sounds like some debris got in either the cable connector or the USB jack and semi-shorted the 5V to ground pins. I assume overcurrent protection will stop a short but its dangerous to the phone if there is enough resistance to allow current but not enough to trigger protection. Like mentioned above, get it to an authorized repair center.
