      It sounds like downloading. Normally you should have a notification as well.

      If it is downloading icon, you should have something in the notification area.

      It can also due to some failed downloading. In this case, a reboot will clear the icons.

      There are usually notifications that tell you what they are. You can tap and hold each notification to get the app info. You can disable notifications for individual apps.

      The list here is most commonly encountered system icons. Each third party app may have it’s own notification icon.

      You should backup the phone to the pc if you can.

      Did you try to reboot the phone by pressing and hold the power button?

      Anyway of the screen cannot be turned on, you have to visit local Samsung service center to check the phone.
