Unfortunately, unless you are able to restart your iPad to a running state - and successfully enter your Passcode - you'll not be able to recover any data from your iPad.


iPadOS uses an encrypted filesystem. Successful entry of your iPad Passcode unlocks the encryption keys required to decrypt and access stored data.


Unless you have a pre-existing backup of your locally stored data, anything stored on your inoperable iPad will remain beyond reach. While this knowledge can't help you now, you may be able to avoid this situation in the future; if you value your data, always keep a backup.
