The screen will only rotate for certain apps, not everything. However, you can also check to see if the orientation lock is on in Control Center. It looks like a small padlock with a circular arrow around it. When the icon is red, it is on, and screen will not rotate. Turn it off to rotate, but again not all screens will rotate. Use and customize Control Center on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
