Try the steps in this article:
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won't turn on or is frozen - Apple Support
Specifically, you can try the update first, if that does not work you need to try the restore.
If that does not help your phone might need service:
Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support
Good luck!
