iPhone mirroring knocked out my iPhone screen


I was using iPhone mirroring and I went to go back to my iPhone and use it by hand. I clicked Command-Q on the mirroring App on my MacBook, grabbed my phone and tried to use it. Seems alive, I pressed the power and sound up buttons, and nothing. I then hit power and sound up again and I heard the shutter sound. My phone is alive, but the screen is dead. I can take a screen shot and I went on my MacBook, did a sync with iCloud and there is my picture. The phone thinks it is displaying the shutdown screen. I tried swipe-ing in the right spot. Nothing. So touch screen is dead too. What should I do now? Does someone want to see it in this mode?

iPhone 16 Pro Max, iOS 18
