Hey there, logo23,


Thanks for posting in the Apple Support Communities about your iPhone. I understand that it is stuck on a spinning wheel, and you are unable to force restart it. I'm happy to help!


Based on what you've described as going on, I would recommend using a computer to restore your iPhone as new. You can get instructions on doing that by manually placing the iPhone into recovery mode here: If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support.


If you still need help after that, please get in touch with Apple Support directly: Contact Apple Support.


Best!
