Hi Sara J,

If your disabled iPhone cannot get on the internet then Find My app is not going to find it. If it is not going to find it then it is not going to be able to execute the ERASE command.

What I recommend that you try instead is follow the instructions in this article by Apple ➔ How to Reset your Disabled iPhone and reset the passcode. You will need a computer to perform this task. Thanks.
