why does my screen show black and updating

My iPhone started updating at 6am today and it had been on a black screen just showing that it was loading but nothing is happening and I can’t turn my phone on because of it.

Being Stuck in a Boot Loop:

Your iPhone is in a boot loop. This typically happens when you unsuccessfully download something or an update install stalls while in the process.  So, refer to my User Tip: How to Fix an iPhone in a Boot Loop - Apple Support
