First go to Settings > Accessibility > VoiceOver and see if that’s on. If so, turn it off.

Then try a Forced Restart and let us know how that goes.

Press and quickly release the Volume Up Button
Press and quickly release the Volume Down Button
Press and hold the Side Button until you see the Apple Logo (This can take up to 30 seconds, keep holding past the Power Off slider)
