Troubleshooting This:

If it is offline and not usable, then you can't track your device electronically. However, you can do so manually:

I. Start Here:

• Locate a Lost or Stolen Device - Apple Support

II. Getting this Back:

• Backtrack your Locations: If at a coffee shop, stop in, and ask it if was placed aside.
• Check with Local Authorities: Perhaps it was found and was turned in.
• Ask Others: Check with Other you know (i.e. friends, family members, co-workers, peers, and neighbors)

III. Looking Elsewhere:

Based on Prior Experience: Look under the pillow or on the desk, or under the seat of your car. It might be sitting there. I thought I lost mine, but, they were in the palm of my hand, interestingly enough.

If you don't have Find My activated there is not much you can do, it is always recommended to have it on as it can save you from never getting your phone back. Even if you have Apple Care with Theft and Loss protection they won't cover it because they require you to have Find My enabled at the time of you loosing your phone. You can maybe take it up with your insurance. I will attach a few articles down below on how to enable it for the future. You should also call your Service Provider to deactivate your SIM card so no unwanted people answer your calls. You should also ask them to lock the IMEI and mark it as Lost/Stolen so it will increase the chance of it being returned to you.
