When I got home yesterday, and continued to have the mysterious problem of my phone seeming to think it was connected to an external keyboard, I triple checked that my Bluetooth keyboard was not on, then turned it on and it worked fine with the phone, turned it off, but the onscreen keyboard still would not appear and I would hear the tones like I was toggling QuickNav. So, I went into the Bluetooth settings and deleted the keyboard. Then, the onscreen keyboard worked like it always had worked.
I then paired my Bluetooth keyboard again, and all is working well. If the keyboard is connected, it takes over, if it is not connected, the onscreen keyboard works perfectly. I think right before we left for a few days I had tried to use the hide/show the onscreen keyboard command that someone had given for keyboards without a designated key. I think it scrambled the brains of the Bluetooth connection and made the phone think the keyboard was connected when it was not. I will stick with simply switching off the keyboard when I want to use the onscreen keyboard.

Then on the display, press Space with 146 (the SH symbol for Show/Hide). This should reveal the keyboard. Then turn off the display. the keyboard should remain. I also suggest going into VoiceOver Settings, choosing Braille, and setting it to always show the onscreen keyboard.

Yesterday, and now today, whenever I bring up an edit box as in writing an email, replying to an email, trying to do a web search, etc., I hear the sound that gos with QuickNav, or used to. But, I have QuickNav set to speak in the verbosity settings; and there is no external keyboard connected. But, when I hit reply, compose, etc., and touch where the keyboard should be I hear the sound that seems like the toggle of quick nav, and there is no keyboard. I'm going to call Apple Accessibility and have them do a screen share if someone doesn't already know what setting I messed up to cause this.
