As you turned off Find My (which is on by default til someone turns it off) your phone is not only lost but activation unlocked and mauy have been reset and sold by now.

You may be able to do some of the actions below so I include them all


If your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch is lost or stolen – Apple Support (UK)

 

Risk mitigation

Get your provider to 

Cancel your SIM.

Send you a replacement SIM on same number.

You can then put the SIM in another iPhone to get the codes you will need.

Phishing warning

Its possible for a thief to obtain your phone number particularly if you did not have a PIN set on the SIM.  So do not respond to texts to sign into your account! They are NOT from Apple. 

Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support

 

Resign to the fact that if you had a passcode set and you do not provide your Apple ID via phishing texts then your data is safe but you may never see the phone again.
