Screen on MacBook Air is frozen and keyboard is unresponsive... off button does not work, fan is making a lot of noise.

My screen froze, my keyboard is unresponsive, I've been pushing the off button for almost an hour and it hasn't budged. It is also making a lot of noise with the fan. Any ideas on how to get it off?

MacBook Air (2020 or later)

Force a shutdown if necessary—for example, if your Mac becomes unresponsive—by pressing and holding the power button until your Mac shuts down.
