I accidentally filed my 2017 W2 instead of my 2018 W2. Will I receive refund first and then have to amend it or will I amend it first

You should wait to file your amended return until you get the refund from your original return. 

Even if your original return has been accepted by the IRS, it's still possible that the IRS could change your refund or balance due on that return. 

Please see the TurboTax article "How to amend (change or correct) a return you already filed" for additional information.

But you should wait to Amend until you get the first refund.  The IRS might change your return.  Then the amended return is only for the difference you get back or owe.
