Hi,
Check if the following helps -
Settings > Apps > Show system apps > com.samsung.android.biometrics.app.settingz > Storage
Clear cache. If this does not work, force stop the app and restart your phone.

You might have to book an appointment with Samsung service centre for further analysis and repair.

Most of the software issues like an Android fingerprint is not working can be fixed by rebooting your phone. This step does a lot for your phone because the devices that aren't restarted for a long time may lose their performance. Just press the power button for a while to let your phone restart
Hope this helps
