iCloud is not loading

I just got a new iPad and when I started to do the usual signing in I got to the iCloud section and when I put it it started to load and hasn’t stopped for almost 2 days now and I can’t cancel or shut down the iPad and I can’t go back. Does anyone know what to do?

iPhone 5s, iOS 12

Something has stalled. If your iPad is unresponsive, you will need to perform a forced-restart:


Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)

If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:

  1. Press and quickly release the volume button nearest to the top button.
  2. Press and quickly release the volume button farthest from the top button.
  3. Press and hold the top button. Do not release the button until...
  4. When the Apple logo appears, release the top button.
