If that doesn't resolve the issue, does your iPad need updating? Do you have a recent backup for the data in your iPad in iCloud or your computer? If not, we recommend that you create one as described here: How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch 

Then update your iPadOS as outlined here: Update your iPhone or iPad

We hope this helps.

Cheers!
