my macbook pro 13" late 2016 was great, then I updated to big sur and my battery was dying when switched off within 12 hours and now it won't charged or switch on. Big Sur has bricked my macbook and it's out of warranty and Apple won’t help. What can I do?
Precisely what is "Apple won't help"?
A battery problem could be co-incidental; but it doesn't matter: the point is you apparently need a new battery. And you say Apple will not install one? What reason did they give? As it is out of warranty, you will have to pay for that, but a 2016 should be eligible for a new battery.

I can’t revert anymore because the screen is just black, it does
nothing, can’t hard reset it or restart it, does absolutely nothing now
Updated from what macOS to Big Sur...
There was a change starting with macOS 10.15 as to how the battery is managed.
So if you are dead in the water, zip, nada, nothing, zero ??? I would follow through with the link provide above for 2016/2017 MBP: If the battery in your 2016 or 2017 MacBook Pro won't charge past 1%

How to reset the SMC of your Mac and perform this action 3 times in a row.
Hi everyone,
So I sent it off under the sticky keys repair program.
They replaced the 'logic board i5, 2gb, 8gb, ETSI. GB top case with battery, ISO'
Thanks everyone for your help and hopefully this helps someone else out there too!
If one believes Big Sur is the root cause - Revert your Mac to a previous macOS version and then Test. If the issue continues - it should be proof enough the battery is the real issue
It’s not coincidental, others have had the same issue. And my battery health was ‘normal’ why should I have to pay for something that Apple’s software has caused?

Big Sur update has ruined my MacBook Pro
