Sorry to hear that you lost your phone.


If the phone was stolen, the first step to do is to report it to your local law enforcement, be prepared as they might request the serial number and IMEI number.


Contact your carrier so that they can disable your account to prevent whoever found the phone to make calls or send text messages.


If Find my iPhone was turned on you can locate the device, please refer to this article on how to do so If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen - Apple Support
