Welcome to iMore! Reset your device by holding the power button and home button down simultaneously until you see the Apple boot logo. If you're using AssistiveTouch you'll use the software home button on your screen. If you can't get to the home button you'll have to wait for your iPod's battery to drain and the device to shut off.

If your notification screen is stuck and your using the virtual home button leave your device to the battery drains. Then when the screen shows the bit to tell you to charge your device it should go back to normal. Took mine two days to sort itself out
