You lock the screen by pressing the power button. There are probably at least a dozen reasons why it doesn’t back up to iCloud, not just one. So you need to provide additional information, such as what messages you see when you try to back it up. Go to Settings/[your name]/iCloud, tap on Backup and then Back up now. Watch the screen and report any messages you see.
