how to fix pattern swipe

I have an old samsung galaxy rush it hasn't been charged in a while maybe close to a year I put it on the charger and it fully charged 100 percent but there is a pattern swipe lick on the phone that's not letting me swipe. The phone won't do anything except for turn on and off.....please help
