What is the exact model of the laptop and if it is still under warranty I would suggest calling Dell tech support. With that being said have you tried a hard shutdown by pressing the power button for at least 4 seconds? If that does not help try a reset. Disconnect the battery and unplug the adapter. Then press and hold down the power button for 30 seconds. Then reconnect everything and try to boot again.

You haven't given us enough information. For example:
I can't know exactly what to suggest without knowing the situation. So, I will make guesses. Try these steps to see what helps:
If none of that helps, do this:

The XPS 13 is a series and not a specific model. Your model number would be something like XPS 13 9350 , XPS 9310, etc. In the XPS 13 series the battery is in general removable but involves removing the back cover to do so. But if you are not comfortable opening up the system then a call to Dell tech support would be the next step.
Also the information posted by @filbert is spot on. A little more information is needed to pinpoint the source of the problem.

Thank you for the quick response.
It is an XPS 13
I have tried holding down the power button to no avail. There battery isn’t removable.
Will give Dell a try. It was a christmas gift last year so should still be under warranty. Was just hoping that someone could help before i try DELL.

Turn off the computer. Disconnect the AC adapter or power cable from the computer, and remove the battery (for Dell laptops with removable battery). NOTE: For Dell laptops that have a nonremovable battery, see the Dell knowledge base article How to reset Real Time Clock (RTC).
