What iPhone model do you have?

Is Rotation Lock switch in Control Centre turned off?

Does the screen rotate in apps such as Safari or Calendar?

I suggest starting by force restarting your iPhone.

First, thank you. I tried the force restart. Still stuck. While awaiting this reply I did some housecleaning to free up a lot of storage. Still stuck. Any other ideas?
