Try a forced restart of your iP6: Press and hold both Power (side) and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo. When it appears, release both buttons, wait for your device to restart, then test it.

If it doesn't help, unfortunately there is nothing we can do for you, except suggesting to have your device checked at your most convenient Apple Store or Authorized Service Provider: Apple - Find Locations - Location Selector

Regards and best of luck.
