Within Disk Utility click on "View" and select "Show All Devices". Does the physical drive show up on the left pane of Disk Utility? If not, then the drive has most likely failed and needs to be replaced.
What is the exact model of your laptop? You can get this information by entering your serial number here:

I hope you had a good backup.

Thanks I was thinking the same thing the hardware might need to be replaced , in the show all device only Mac OS base system is showing. There is also a recall at apple for 13inch MacBook Pro 2017-2018 solid state drive , but I entered my serial number not eligible for that. Thanks for the help.
