My iPhone 6's screen went black but still works. What can I do?

Earlier today, I opened my phone to check on my snapchat and once I opened the app the screen went dark. I assumed that my phone died, I didn't really see how much battery life it had left. I charged it for a few minutes mainly because I heard the sound it usually makes who you connect it. Then it started overheating. The phone still works, I'm hearing reminders, notifications, text messages etc. I've tried rebooting it. Even the hard restart and nothing. What else can I do? The last thing I want to do is go to the Apple store mainly because the phone is a lease.

Did you try holding the power button and the home button at the same time for a few seconds? This happens to my phone all the time and I hold the power button and the home button and it restarts

Thank you gema This worked for me just now! I was going to the store this evening and you saved me:-)

Thanks Gema, Just worked for me!
