Ipad not working (i.e. freezing, not turning on, not unlocking)

My ipad was working fine until I clicked on the Safari app and it pull up incorrectly. When I had last used Safari (around 30 seconds before) it was working normally and had about five tabs open. When I pulled it up again only one tab was open (but it didn't show any of the web pages just a blank page and I couldn't click on anything). I thought I could easily fix the situation by turning my ipad off and turning it back on again. Nope. The first time it turned on it let me type in my password, but wouldn't unlock. It stayed frozen. I even heard the unlock click even thought the screen was frozen. From there I cannot turn off my ipad. I have to let it turn itself off (takes around 20-30 seconds). I've tried this four times and each time is exactly the same. And each time it gets harder and harder to turn on the ipad (e.g. I have to hold down the power button for longer and hold it down multiple of times). I also plugged it into my charger to see if the battery was close to dead and it wouldn't detect my charger. The only thing I can think of for making it do this is that I was updating an app, but it said that it didn't download so I clicked retry. As I stated earlier my ipad was working normally up until then.
