Try a forced restart.

In addition to the recommendation to Force Restart your iPhone, what is your current Battery Health? Open Settings > Battery > Battery Health - if the health is 80% or lower, the useful life of the battery has been spent and it's time to have the battery replaced at your Apple Store Genius Bar.
