Read the support article "If your Apple ID is locked or disabled"; it has solutions for two frequently encountered reasons for an account to be disabled/locked. Click here --> https://support.apple.com/HT204106
I know there's some redundancy in the documents but apparently I need to post both here because not everybody is aware of that.

With two-factor authentication and an Apple device, you have the option to generate a recovery key to help improve account security.
- "Creating a recovery key turns off account recovery. Using a recovery key is more secure, but it means that you’re responsible for maintaining access to your trusted devices and your recovery key. If you lose both of these items, you could be locked out of your account permanently."
