Microsoft Windows 11

My laptop started showing a vertical line on the screen. and the words on the screen are blurry. When I press the power button off and turn it back on it fixes itself. Today the same vertical line appeared, the screen went black and then it started showing a multitude of colours. I turned it off and it fixed itself again. Do I need a new screen?
