Did you also try to force restart your iPad?

If this does not help, try to set it back to factory settings, to rule out a software issue:

i tried the force restart but it keeps happening, i talked with the apple support and they think that maybe it’s the screen protector but i don’t agree because when i’m swiping up the screen will go upwards but the swipe up to see the recent app doesn’t work. Sorry but i don’t want to factory reset coz i have a lot of projects that maybe will erase everything but i dont think it’s not the best solution.
