Spreading thin black line on iPhone XR screen

Hi! A horizontal, thin black line suddenly appeared on my iPhone XR screen yesterday. It started out small but then it started to get longer and reach the other end of my screen. I already tried restarting and updating my phone. What could be the issue? What can I do to fix this?

iPhone XR, iOS 16
