Apps not loading in Apple Searchlight

When I pull down on my phone to search for an app, all the apps are showing up like this and you cannot click them. This is happening with many apps. All my apps are updated. I tried shutting off my phone and I reset all the settings and it is still happening.

iPhone 12
