re: 2016— has a T1 Controller I would try both
resetting NVRAM/PRAM Reset NVRAM on your Mac - Apple Support
resetting the System Management Controller Reset the SMC of your Mac - Apple Support
and compare your results
No resolve try a SafeBoot Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support this wll sort many anomalies
Login and test. Reboot as normal and test. Caches get rebuilt automatically.

It would suggest you have a hardware failure.
In or out of warranty you can get a free over the counter 'Apple Service Diagnostics' test /assessment
Make an appointment for a "hardware issue"

I agree with @leroydouglas. At least with it being a hardware issue.
However, I don't recommend repairing any Intel Mac at this point for multiple reasons. The money spent on repairs is better put towards a new laptop. At this point if you need to use any of those Function keys or the ESC key, then use an external keyboard instead to continue using this laptop since at least the investment in the external keyboard can be used with other computers when you finally retire this laptop.
Just did that it’s still not responding 💔
