Your screen is locked in portrait view. If you double tap the home button, then scroll all the way to the left...the gray icon on the left is for screen rotation. If you press it, it should make that disappear.

It means you have slid the mute button (which since 4.3 is also the lock rotation button) from the unlock to the lock positioin. FYI this button is next to the volume control.

Oops I'm to slow..
