Click on the blue text and read the linked article: If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won't turn on or is frozen - Apple Support


As described in that linked article, if the reset sequences shown for your device don’t work, contact Apple Support directly.


I had this happen with an iPad recently, and I had to hold the reset sequence as described, and that cleared the freeze and rebooted.
