Odd. I don't think you should normally see a verification code request on a device that is disabled.
To see how to 'Get a verification code and sign in with two-factor authentication', click here --> https://support.apple.com/HT204974
- Use a Trusted Device: Mac, iPhone, iPad, Watch. Code is either generated automatically or manually using Settings on the Trusted Device.
- Text or phone call to a trusted telephone number (any telephone; even landlines).
- Get a code from an Account Recovery Contact --> https://support.apple.com/HT212513
- Instructions at the end about what to do if you cannot get a code and need to use account recovery.
If you lack a way to view a verification code but can still log into your Apple Account, you can add a way to get a code. "You can manage your trusted phone numbers, trusted devices, and other account information from your Apple ID account page." Click here --> https://appleid.apple.com/

If you have no available trusted devices or numbers, and cannot sign into your account (such as when you have a forgotten password) to add a way to get a verification code, read:
How to use account recovery when you can’t reset your Apple ID password - https://support.apple.com/HT204921
"The fastest and easiest way to reset your password is from an Apple device. Before you start the account recovery waiting period, try to reset your forgotten password on a trusted device. Or borrow a friend or family member’s iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch and use the Find My iPhone app to reset your password. You can even visit an Apple Store and ask to use a device on site."

Normally you deal with a "disabled" device message this way:
Unfortunately if you have a forgotten/unknown device passcode, or have a disabled device, you have no option but to erase the device. However, you can eventually restore the data and settings from a backup you made before the device was disabled. You must have a computer to use the method below. If you don't have a computer, borrow one from a friend, or go to an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider. You can also use a PC with iTunes. You will likely also need your Apple ID and password. All Apple mobile devices follow the same general procedure but the link below and other links off it provide model-specific instructions:

Here is a related video which to me has more complete and clearer instructions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7s8-zLG9ySQ
Steps:
1. With the device disconnected from a computer use the model-specific instructions in the links above to shut down the device.
2. Connect it to a computer with Finder or iTunes (Mojave or earlier, or PC).
3. Restart into recovery mode (black screen with a cable indicating attach to computer).
4. When prompted, click "Restore" to erase data & settings, and update system software. May take some time.
5. Set up your device ( https://support.apple.com/kb/HT202033 ). Partway through you are offered the opportunity to restore your data and settings from a backup, or you can do this at a later stage ( https://support.apple.com/HT204184 ). Even if you have no backup, if you were using some iCloud services to sync items such as Contacts or Photos those may reappear once you sign back into your iCloud account --> Set up iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - https://support.apple.com/HT208681
