iPhone 11 stuck on software update

i turned my phone on and it seems to be stuck in the Lock Screen with a pop up saying software update with two buttons labeled as “install now” and “install later” I tried clicking on both and nothing happens, I remembered I can force restart it but I can remember how I’m supposed to do that. Could anyone help?.

iPhone 8, iOS 16
