iPhone 11 won't open apps OR shut of

I can't open any apps or cut my phone off/reset it. What can I do to make my iPhone 11 work and does this happen to others?

Try and Force Restart your iPhone EXACTLY as shown below and see whether that resolves the issue:

Press and quickly release Volume UP button
Press and quickly release Volume DOWN button
Press and Hold the SIDE button until an Apple logo appears and then release the Side button (Can take up to 20 seconds. (DO NOT release Side Button when invited to Slide Power OFF).
