Hello Dylanobi20,


Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We see you have some questions about your Apple Pencil not working as it should, and we'd like to help. We'd recommend going through some of the steps in the following article, as it walks through how to set up your Pencil. As it is already set up, sometimes going through this process again can fix some of the issues that you're seeing: Connect Apple Pencil with your iPad


If your Apple Pencil won't pair with your iPad
1) Make sure to center your Apple Pencil (2nd generation) on the magnetic connector on the right edge of the iPad. For Apple Pencil (1st generation) and iPad (6th through 9th generations), remove the cap and plug your Apple Pencil into the Lightning connector on your iPad. For Apple Pencil (1st generation) and iPad (10th generation), remove the cap and plug your Apple Pencil and a USB-C cable into the USB-C to Apple Pencil Adapter. Plug the other end of the cable into your iPad.
2) Restart your iPad, then try to pair again.
3) Go to Settings > Bluetooth and make sure that Bluetooth is turned on.
4) On the same screen, find your Apple Pencil under My Devices. If you find it, tap Information icon. Then tap Forget this Device.
5) Connect your Apple Pencil into your iPad and tap the Pair button when it appears after a few seconds. 
6) If the Pair button doesn't appear, wait for one minute while your Apple Pencil charges. Then try connecting your Apple Pencil again and wait until the Pair button appears.
7) If the Pair button still doesn't appear, contact Apple Support.

Regards.
