A Lost ipad does show as a device in Find my ipad but with location not known (since not connected to internet). It is now set as lost pending an internet connection. Do I need to change my icloud password?
iPad, iPadOS 15
No. Unless you have reason to believe that your AppleID account Password has been compromised (such as leaving a written copy of it with your iPad), there is no necessity to change your account Password.
Here is Apple’s advice for lost or stolen devices:
If your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch is lost or stolen – Apple Support
Use the Find My app to locate a lost or stolen device – Apple Support
If the Find My iPad feature was enabled prior to it being “misplaced”, then if active, you would stand a good chance of locating it.
However, if the feature was not activated prior to being misplaced - or the iPad has been inactive for more than 24 hours, the last known location will not be available - and the opportunity to use technical means to recover the iPad have been lost.

Can you track an iPad with Location Services off?
Go to Settings > your name > Find My, and then toggle the Find My iPad switch to turn the feature on and off. Toggle on Send Last Location to send Apple the iPad's location data so you can find the device even if it's off or the battery dies.

You are evidently missing the point here. The OP is no longer in possession of the iPad - already lost - and therefore cannot change any settings on the iPad.
