No guarantees, but this message can sometimes appear if the charging port on the iPhone is clogged with dust or debris. Use a toothpick to very carefully clean the port and finish off with some compressed air.


If no luck, perform a Forced Restart on the phone. Force restart iPhone - Apple Support


There are only two possible results from the Forced Restart:


1) The phone returns to normal operation

2) There is a hardware issue on the phone and it will need the attention of the Apple Store or authorized Apple Service shop.


Realistically, 2) is the more likely result.
