If your iPad is not operating as expected after updating to iPadOS 27, begin with a forced-restart - as this will often clear an isolated or post-update software issue:
Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)
If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:
If the problem persists after performing the restart, it may be necessary to reset your iPad settings. While this reset will not cause any loss of data, as a precaution, it is always wise to ensure that you have a current iCloud or iTunes backup before performing the reset:

When you are happy to proceed, you can perform the reset from iPad settings:
Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPad > Reset > Reset All Settings
If the problem still doesn’t clear, the next step is to reset the iPad to factory settings:

Otherwise, you would be best advised to seek assistance directly from Apple Support. You can contact the Support Team using the Support link at top-right or bottom-left of this page. Alternatively and perhaps easier, you can initiate and manage your support cases using the excellent Apple Support App. If not already installed on your iPad, the App can be downloaded from the App Store:

You might also visit the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) - where the technicians will be able to test and assess your iPad - and you can explore your available options:

If your iPad's swipe-up and control center gestures remain unresponsive after a force restart, you should check your device settings, remove any edge obstructions, or reset your system configurations.
Check Control Center and Accessibility Settings
Inspect the Screen and Accessories

So, to be absolutely clear, you followed the instructions to restore the iPad to factory settings using a computer?
And - to repeat my previous question - what did you learn from Apple Support when you contacted them as directed?
