iphone won't turn off

My phone is on and I can swipe up, down, left, and right but none of my apps will open including settings. I have tried turning it off and on and even tried forcing it to restart by using the power and volume buttons and it won't do that. So I am not sure what to do, any suggestions?

iPhone XR, iOS 15
