iphone 5 not sliding

Hi Jeanette,

We would need more information to assist. Are you saying the screen isn't responding to touch altogether? This article might be helpful:

Try the simple step first. Reset the iPhone. Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.
