iPhone is frozen and wont restart

My phone screen froze randomly when I was in an app, and it seems that everything works fine but my screen is just frozen. I am able to use my fingerprint to open my phone because I can feel the vibration, but it is still stuck frozen on the app. I am unable to restart, and I tried hard resetting which didn't work since the apple logo did not show. Also, when I click the rest button it does not close all the way you could still see the frozen screen it just looks darker when you click the sleep button.
