What happens when you take a screenshot? Do you still see this error? If not, then it is a hardware issue. If so, then it is a software issue. So, try taking. screenshot: Take a Screenshot on your iPhone - Apple Support

It is the other way around. If the line shows up in the screenshot then it is a hardware issue because a bad logic board will relay the issue to the screen and the screenshot. Of Course, if the line does not show up in the screenshot, then it is a software issue.
