Try a Forced Restart, which doesn't require touching the screen. See how to do so here --> Force restart iPhone - Apple Support (CA)


If after your iPhone comes back up, you still can't use touch on your screen, you'll need to schedule an appointment at your Apple Store Genius Bar for evaluation and options.
