Motion Sensor Not Working

So my iPhone 6s has been working great for the 8 months that I've had it. Now all of a sudden, the motion sensor isn't working. It works to flip the screen in apps like Netflix and Youtube, but for anything else it doesn't work. I've seen videos on Youtube about using the compass app to fix this, but the compass app isn't even registering that it's using a motion sensor.

iPhone 6s, iOS 12

My iPhones gyro isn’t working Recently i realized that my gyro isn’t working. I sometimes play a game that requires gyroscope and i realized it wasn’t functioning. I tried turning the gyro on and off in-game but it didn’t work. Then i opened the Compass app and the compass was stationary but the screen orientation is working fine. I haven’t dropped the phone so i assume there isn’t any fault due to physical damage. I have an iPhone Xs. It would be really helpful to get this issue fixed.
