Try a Forced Reset

Quickly press and release the Volume Up button

Quickly press and release the Volume Down button

Hold in the Side button until the Apple logo appears on the screen

Do not release the Side button when the slider appears. Keep holding the button until the Apple icon appears in the center of the screen, then release the Side button.

If still no luck after a few tries, it's off to the Apple Store or Apple Repair shop.
