Hi @ZASquire, let me see if I can help out here.

As @alexdon mentioned, you seem to have activated a feature for visually impaired users called Talkback. In order to deactivate Talkback, please follow the steps below.

Drag the status bar downwards with two fingers.
Tap the gear icon and then double-tap it.
Using two fingers to scroll through the menu, find and tap Accessibility, then double-tap Accessibility.
Tap TalkBack, then double-tap TalkBack.
Tap the switch beside On or TalkBack once, then double-tap the switch.
Tap OK, then double-tap OK to confirm.

9 out of 10 times this mode is activated by pressing the volume key in both directions simultaneously. If you want to deactivate this shortcut, find and tap Settings > Accessibility > Volume key shortcut > Turn off.

Let me know if that helped!
