You can't find an iPhone using IMEI. In order to track a lost or stolen iPhone, Find My must have been enabled before the phone went missing. The cellular provider can deactivated the phone by IMEI and can blacklist a lost or stolen iPhone.

See this link on what to do if your phone is lost or stolen --> If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen - Apple Support
