Turning the phone off and on is rebooting it like any computer. You can also do a quick reset by pressing the power/screen lock button and as mentioned a hard reset by holding power and home until the apple logo shows up on the screen or 15 seconds or so if you can't see the logo. None of these options should do any harm. In the past sometimes a hard reset could turn off voiceover and perhaps brick the phone but I haven't herd of this for a good while. None of these options should cause a software reset but rather a hardware reset. Software resets are only from settings general reset.
Having said this always attempt to have a recent backup because stuff happens even if unlikely. Cya always.
