Just hold the Power button on the console until it powers down, then turn it back on. Easy peasy.

Experienced the same issue last week! Hold down the Power button for 10 seconds to force a shutdown. If you need a full reset, go to Settings > System > Console info > Reset console. Choose 'Reset and keep my games & apps' if you don’t want to lose your stuff.
