I assume that you have already performed a Forced Restart of your iPhone.....correct? If not, start here:
Force restart iPhone - Apple Support
If no luck, tap Settings > Screen Time
Scroll down to the bottom and turn off App & Website Activity
Wait at least a full minute
Now go back in and turn App & Website Activity back on
If still no luck, Go to Settings > General > Background App Refresh and turn it off....or...manually disable the setting for each app that you don't need to run overnight.

Then, this is an issue that you will not be able solve yourself.
Time to make an appointment at the Apple Store / Genius Bar or an Authorized Apple Service Provider (AASP) to have them run diagnostics on the iPhone.

Unfortunately after trying that multiple times, no luck. The consistent, unnamed screen time persists.
