iPhone 13 Siri talking fast and passcode won't open phone

iPhone 13 - Siri talking very fast. There's a box around my time on the home screen. I can swipe up and it asks for my 4-digit passcode. When I enter that - Siri repeats the numeral back to me and then the alpha's associated with that numeral. The phone will not open at all. I have shut down and brought back up. The flashlight does not work - nor the camera. However, Siri speedily says "flashlight" and "camera". I hooked it to my laptop and I get a message that I have an accessory connected but unable to use accessory. My Apple watch DOES find my phone (the phone sounds off when I locate from my Apple watch). Please advise.

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 17
