Who’s going to fix my phone. I don’t have the gas to go to a repair place. I’m 65 and live alone, I have no phone
iPhone X, iOS 15
What do you mean the SIM has a carrier lock?
What is the exact message you're getting?
The SIM comes from your carrier and can only be used to connect to the carrier that issued it.
If you mean the phone is carrier locked, meaning it will only work with one specific carrier, and you want to use a different carrier, you will need to contact the carrier the phone is locked to and find out what their unlocking policy is..
How to unlock your iPhone for use with a different carrier - Apple Support
I’m not trying to use another carrier or phone. In settings, in about, my SIM card says it is in carrier locked mode. I was told I needed a PUK code, which I received 2 yesterday. I keyed a code in, my phone worked. Then last night it stopped working again. That’s what I mean!! I have been dealing with this since Sunday and I need a solution.
You need to the the PUK code or SIM PIN from your cellular carrier.
Why has my phone stopped working and why is the SIM card locked?

That would be a question to ask your carrier. Generally, a SIM lock is initiated by the phone user.
