You may have the orientation lock set to ON. Double check and set the orientation lock to OFF. Please read the following:

Lock or unlock the screen orientation

You can lock the screen orientation so that it doesn’t change when you rotate iPhone.

👉 Open Control Center, then tap .

When the screen orientation is locked,  appears in the status bar (on supported models).
