Hello musfequr,
I see you want to disable two-factor authentication. For some background I suggest you read the document: "Two-factor authentication for Apple ID" - Two-factor authentication for Apple ID - Apple Support
From this document:
"If you're already using two-factor authentication with your Apple ID, you can't turn it off."
Two-factor authentication is enabled by default on new Apple IDs and cannot be turned off.
If you have an account where you only very recently activated Two Factor Authentication, note this section of the Apple support article -->
"If you updated to two-factor authentication inadvertently, you can turn it off within two weeks of enrollment. If you do, your account is less secure and you can't use features that require a higher level of security."
Note that if you did indeed recently turn it on then you should check your email. If you don't see one, look in your junk folder.

Sorry, this is a user to user forum only, and not the official Apple Support.
However, the Two-Factor Authentication can only be disabled two weeks after you did enable it:
