Your screen has likely gone to Dark Mode either because it was manually enabled in the device settings or it activated automatically based on system preferences (like automatically switching at sunset). To revert back, navigate to your device's display settings and look for the Dark Mode or Theme option. Switching it off or selecting a Light Mode should return your screen to its regular appearance. If these steps don't work, checking for any specific app settings or restarting your device may help resolve the issue.
