I'm going to assume you mean how did Oedipus become king. He became king by solving the riddle of the Sphinx, who asked the riddle "What walks on four legs in the morning, two in the afternoon and, three at night." The correct answer is "man".
Before Oedipus became king of Thebes, the throne was held by Laius. Laius was the father of Oedipus and was cursed to be killed by his own son, which ultimately set the tragic events of the Oedipus myth in motion. His reign ended when Oedipus unwittingly fulfilled the prophecy by killing him at a crossroads.
