iPad quit swiping

If you can't do a Force Restart, then that would be a problem with your physical buttons and nothing to do with a swiping issue on your screen. The most common mistake users make when performing the Force Restart on an iPad without a Home button is that they do not hold the button in the last step long enough for the Apple logo to appear. This could take up to 15 seconds and you have to ignore anything else on the screen during that time including a prompt to Slide to Power Off.

If your iPad doesn't respond - Apple Support

If the Force Restart does not resolve the problem, then you are headed to Apple for diagnostics. The digitizer built into the screen is responsible for detecting touch events it it may have failed.

Welcome and thank you for reaching out. 🤗

There appears to be a problem with the internal touch sensor. Only a certified Apple technician can determine the cause and offer a complete solution.

Therefore, I recommend service.

The swipe right and left will only work on apps which are built and optimised for the gestures. If you are saying on the Home Screen then it is frozen and needs to be restarted. See, go to Control Center, Look for the power icon on the Top Right, long press it, the Slide To Power Off option will pop up and then just slide.
