I can't click on my apple ID on my phone and all of my contacts are gone

I cannot access my apple ID on my iphone. My phone was acting weird today- was shutting down and giving me the spinning wheel. Now it is on but the apple ID is greyed out and i can't click on anything. The picture is different on the apple ID than it wa before- and all of my contacts are gone.

iPhone 11, iOS 16
