If you’re not comfortable with using keyboard shortcuts, you can do it all from a graphical interface using the Finder menu. Access the Finder menu by clicking the Apple icon (top-left corner) and click on Force Quit. Then, in the Force Quit Application window, select the unresponsive app that you wish to close and hit the Force Quit button.

You can always force quit the Mac by holding the power button/TouchID for ~6-10 secs.
Reboot as normal or if issue reboot into SafeBoot Mode

SafeBoot https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262
Takes noticeable longer to get to the login screen, does a 5-15 minute disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, including dynamic loader cache, etc. Login and test. Reboot and test as caches get rebuilt.
In Safe mode third party system modifications and system accelerations are disabled, it removes malware, etc hampering smooth operation, however a reboot will put it back to normal mode.
