The new screen isn't in contact with the touch screen sensors.
Same thing happened on my 6+. You could open the phone and it would open apps on it's own, type on it's own (with the keyboard displayed), etc. This is caused by me forgetting it was in my back pocket and sitting down a few different times. (I'm sure you heard about the possibility of an iPhone warping if you sit with it in your back pocket). It flexes the phone and the sensors become disconnected from the screen. I did some reading and there's a way to temporarily fix it.
With your phone in sleep mode, hold it in landscape mode (sideways, gangsta style), grip the ends of the phone and twist slightly back and forth three to four times then do a hard reset. This worked on my phone for a few days each time and I'd have to do it again. After a couple months and me being due for an upgrade, I got a new phone.
Now, with you recently getting your screen replaced, take it back to them and tell them the touch screen sensors aren't in contact with the new screen and they need to fix it.
