If the iPhone is disabled, you need to follow the instructions in If you forgot the passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support

exactly.


That includes the following from that link (begin the following with the phone NOT connected to the computer):

Press and hold the Side (or Top) button until the power off slider appears. Drag the slider to turn off your device. Connect your device to your computer while holding the Home button. Keep holding the Home button until you see the recovery mode screen.

If it is disabled, you cannot connect to the internet. If it won't go into recovery mode the other option is to contact Apple for service. See the following from If you forgot the passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support


If you can't update or restore your device using recovery mode, or you can't use recovery mode because of broken or stuck buttons, contact Apple Support. Then follow the steps to set up service for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
