This part of the guide shows you how to forward a domain to an IP address. CHnage the example IP address to that of your droplet: http://www.one.com/en/support/guide/manage-your-dns-settings#ipaddress

Alternatively you could change your domains ‘Domain Name Servers’ to Digital Oceans own by following this guide: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-a-host-name-with-digitalocean

Edit: It looks like that it may not be possible to edit Name Servers(easily) for domains registered with One.com Source
