the brightness Icon comes up with a lock below it and won't change the brightness. The display is not hot. In the system settings> display panel, the slider for display brightness is also locked.

Hey philshaffer,
If you haven't already, try restarting your MacBook Pro. This is a simple step that can often resolve issues of an unknown origin: Shut down or restart your Mac - Apple Support
If brightness is still locked after a restart, check your display settings again. Some custom presets can affect changes to Brightness, True Tone and Night Shift: Use reference modes with your Apple display - Apple Support
Cheers!
