It's a SoC M1.

On the M1 the best you can do—

 M1 SoC - SMC reset equivalent is  Shut down, close the lid 30 secs+ , reboot as normal

My touch bar stopped showing and went black. I tried to stop the TouchBarServer from the Activity Monitor, and the command line and restarted the Mac. I tried to update to the last version available of MacOs. Nothing worked. I also can't find the "Control Strip" in the Activity monitor and Touchbar, when I try to click on the "Cutomize the Control Strip" button it wouldn't work.

I'm on a MacBook Pro using MacOs Ventura 13.5.2

you do not say what exact mac is this... Intel, or SoC M1/M2....?

Still no insights...

I couldn't understand why the ControlStrip is not showing in the Activity Monitor and why the "Customize Control Strip" button is not working.

How can I know if this is a software or hardware issue..?

I suspect you have a hardware issue —if no resolve from above.
