Do you have the orientation lock on?


From the top right hand corner of your iPad, swipe down to open Control Center.


Look for an icon with a lock in it and an semi circle arrow. Is it red? If it is, tap it to unlock screen rotation.


Note: Not all apps rotate. If your issue is with a 3rd party app, it likely was not coded to rotate. Even if your screen can rotate, and app not coded to rotate won't rotate.
