Thank you for the screenshot.
Blow it Off for Now:
Though it reads "Important Battery Message Your battery's health is significantly degraded. An Apple Authorized Service Provider can replace the battery to restore full performance and capacity.", you're fine for now. So, wait it out.

Servicing the Battery:
Look Up the Battery Health:
When the Battery Health is 80% or lower, it is time for a new battery.
Time for a New Battery?

"Why does it say my battery needs service?: It doesn’t show less than 80% until the end of the night. Do I need to take my phone to an Apple Store? I’m worried it’s a scam to get me to buy a new iPhone or battery for hundreds of dollars"

Again...
Look Up the Battery Health:
You're referring to the charge percentage. I am saying it is the Battery Health you must check. When the Battery Health is 80% or lower, it is time for a new battery.
Time for a New Battery?
Try a Forced Restart

Follow the instructions very carefully. Do not release the Side button until you see an Apple icon appear. If you see a slider to power off, you have to keep holding the Side button until the Apple logo appears. It might take another 20-30 seconds.
If the same message appears, have the phone checked out at an Apple Store or authorized Apple Service shop
Now, im

installing new updates. Please help
This is what I see on iTunes on my laptop. Thanks in advance
