Cannot turn off my iPhone 12

Can’t turn off my 12 pro max. Directions given aren’t working. This is a new phone. Accidentally phoned Emergency services and cancelled that. Screen is now frozen so I get to my serial number. How can I keep a phone with no direction & that I have never had experience with? I have to go to work now but I’ve been working on this all weekend!!!!

To turn off the iPhone, instead of using buttons and/or specific gestures, go to Settings>General>Shut down (the last option at the very bottom).

If you're talking about a "forced restart" these are the instructions:--> Force restart iPhone – Apple Support
