Can’t quit app on iPhone 12

So I was trying to go on my iPhone 12 when I unlocked it it forced me into an app and I couldn’t quit it. When I hold the buttons to reset the phone, it brings me to the shutdown screen for a second than leaves it. I managed to shut it down but when I powered it back up it brought me back to the app. Than when I went to restore it on my pc (because it finally detected it)but I couldn’t restore it due to my very limited storage. Can anyone help me quit this app!

iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 15

Cling an App:

If you can't restore it, then try clearing space. "Other" or "System Data" may be eating up a lot of it.

A. Close All Apps:
