If you haven't already, try updating your iOS to the latest version:

eg: About iOS 16 Updates - Apple Support says 16.4.1 is the latest.


If you have already updated, and can not access FaceTime and Messages, then try restarting your iPhone: Restart your iPhone


Restarting will sometimes clear the way / put things back in order.

or

If you have recently updated your Apple ID or password, it may take a day or so before the changes appear in FaceTime etc.

We're not sure what "not working" actually means in your case.
