Weird black circle gliding across my screen

Every once and a while a black circle (white ring around the edge and a dot in the middle) will come across my screen. I can’t use any function on my phone while this is happening because my power button is broken and I have to use assistive touch. Can someone just tell me what it is so I can turn it off lol
