Q: my iphone does not rotate the screen with rotation of phone

You likely have orientation lock on.  this is covered in the icon explanation section of the manual:

You can also set the Side Switch to lock the screen orientation instead of silencing sound effects and notifications. In Settings, go to General > Use Side Switch to, then tap Lock Rotation.
