MacBook Pro 16" Touch Bar stopped working.

The touch bar on my MacBook pro has suddenly stopped working. After reading a few posts, I went to the keyboard settings and it's not even showing up in the menu as an option. I am on Big Sur OS. I've tried restarting and it didn't work. I've also tried force quitting the touch bar server.
