Home bar disappeared on lock screen

My home bar to open my Home Screen disappeared on my lock screen so i couldn’t open my phone, I have an iPhone 12 and updated to iOS 15.3 recently. I was wondering if anyone experienced the same issue, I’m not sure if it’s an iOS bug or that there is something wrong with my phone.

iPhone 12, iOS 15

Hi! I'd try restarting your iPhone.

How to restart your iPhone X, 11, 12, or 13

Press and hold either volume button and the side button until the power off slider appears.
Drag the slider, then wait 30 seconds for your device to turn off. If your device is frozen or unresponsive, force restart your device.
To turn your device back on, press and hold the side button (on the right side of your iPhone) until you see the Apple logo.
