As a first step, force a restart: Force restart iPhone - Apple Support


Hold the third button press until you see the Apple logo, past any sliders that might appear.


If that fails, perform a backup, and factory reset, and restore.


You will want to consider a spare device for critical devices and numbers, as loss or theft or dunking or dropping can all render a phone unavailable, for instance.
