2017 MacBook Pro Black display with a bar of light at the top

My MacBook appears to be on but only had a small portion of the display at the top is working. I can move the mouse to the top and then I see the pointer but the rest of the screen is black. Additionally I am getting feedback through the touchpad. Thanks.
