Quite suddenly, up swipe to close apps doesn’t work and need to go to 3 dots at top to close. So annoying! What has changed and how to fix?

Force closing an App should be simple:
Quit and reopen an app on iPad - Apple Support
To expose the App Switcher, it is necessary to swipe upwards with your finger from below the active portion of the screen, to the middle of the screen - and pause briefly - before lifting your finger. Once visible, open Apps can then be closed by swiping the corresponding App thumbnail off the top of the screen.
If your iPad is within a fitted case, it can sometimes be difficult to begin the swipe gesture from below the bottom edge of the visible screen area. If the iPad is in a case, remove the case and test.
