Faulty Secondary/Haptic Touch on iPad Pro M4 13in

I went to open some apps on my iPad today and every click despite how long I hold it acts like a secondary click or if I were to hold an item and get a Haptic Touch response. I even tried using this with my Magic Keyboard and it still got the same response. I tried restarting my iPad Pro M4 13in, and even this did not fix the problem. I have been using this iPad for just over two months now so this is a little disappointing and frustrating. How can I fix this problem?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 18

This fixed my problem!! Thank you so much. So I went into the AssistiveTouch settings and checked the dwell control toggle. Originally it was toggled off, however, I thought I’d check it out so I turned it on and back off and the problem was actually fixed! Very weird response especially since I restarted the iPad and reset all of the settings and the problem still occurred. Especially to this new of an iPad not on Beta’s and on the most recent update.
