Hello ~ It sounds as if you may have assistive touch turned on…the button that looks like a home button on your screen but without a screenshot I cannot tell for sure. Look here and see if this is what you are seeing or send a screenshot:


Use AssistiveTouch on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


If the ringer and speaker are not working then perhaps you have the phone on silent mode so check this out:

If none of these help you post back or take the iPhone in for a checkup:
