It looks like you have already done all you can. I suggest that you double check to see if you missed anything by reviewing the steps in the following article: If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen - Apple Support
... and here are some additional references you may find helpful:
No. If you believe that your Apple ID has also been compromised, review the following article:
I have changed the password to my icloud straight away. I keep receiving phishing text messages that my phone has been located and link to the website where they are asking to log in with my login and password. I have not provided it. My apple ID has also been blocked as they were trying to log in. I was able to unlock it and again changed the password.
I presume that thieves want to remove the phone from FIND MY IPHONE as I have activated the lost mode.
I know that I will not be able to get it back so I just want to protect my data and erase it but I was concerned that it may delete the data on icloud.
Thank you very much for all the responses.
No. Your iCloud information will not be affected.

If you erase the device you will no longer be able to find it.
