Screen won’t let me slide

how can I fix my phone if it will not let me slide to open the Lock Screen or slide to shut down? I can touch buttons, but sliding doesn’t work

Try a forced restart and after the phone completely boots up, try the slider again.

iPhone 8 or later: Press and quickly release the Volume Up button. Press and quickly release the Volume Down button. Then press and hold the Side button until you see the Apple logo.
iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, and iPod touch (7th generation): Press and hold both the Top (or Side) button and the Volume Down buttons until you see the Apple logo.
