Is the touch screen working? It could be a screen issue.

Touch works on limited area rest feels like screen Is dead

It’s possible half the screen is dead , most probable in-fact as it’s a strange screen to be stuck on. Have you dropped it any marks or damage on or around the screen? I’m weirdly convinced my below answer will fix this.

If your not confident you could always take it to a repair shop for second opinion/ repair.

If you cannot do anything on the screen it is most likely a damaged digitiser. This can get damaged by a short fall or bump in the wrong place . Here’s a full guide and what to get.

Try to turn off the screen using the power button and long-press it for a few seconds. If this doesn't work then try charging it for sometime. Restart your Kindle to resolve the frozen issue.
