You perhaps have a Slide-Over view enabled, this being a feature of iPadOS.


The easiest way to switch from Slide Over to a full-screen window is to touch-and-hold the small drag-bar at the top of the Slide Over Window, drag to the top-centre of the screen - then release; this window will become full screen.


Here is an Apple video that demonstrates use of Slide Over:

... and the corresponding page from the online version of the iPad User Guide for iPadOS:

... and a further help page that describes many associated features of iPad multi-tasking:

I hope this information os helpful is resolving your immediate question - and in providing useful references to significant functionality.
