What do you mean by “shut down?” Did you follow these instructions:


  • iPhone with Face ID: Simultaneously press and hold the side button and either volume button until the sliders appear, then drag the Power Off slider.

  • OR: Go to Settings  > General > Shut Down, then drag the slider.


Or do you mean you pressed the SIDE button on the right side to lock the screen?
