iPhone 11 frozen, unresponsive, volume up button broken

My iPhone 11 (passed down) is frozen. I can see the screen clearly, and notifications do come, however I cannot press anything. I have assistive touch which I can’t press either. I cannot hard restart (or whatever it is called) because my volume up button does not function. Please advise!

iPhone 11, iOS 18
