Presumably your iPad indicates that it must be restored:
If you see the Restore screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
You’ll need access to either a Windows PC (with iTunes for Windows installed) or a Mac (with iTunes or Finder - as appropriate for the installed version of macOS).
Download and use iTunes for Windows – Apple Support
Update to the latest version of iTunes – Apple Support
Use of a Windows PC or Mac computer is unavoidable; you will not be able to use a Chromebook, Linux computer or other type of computer.
If you don’t have access to a suitable computer of your own, that of a helpful friend or family member will suffice. Alternatively, the technicians at the Genius Bar of your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) will be delighted to assist.
