First do not share your Apple ID with anyone if that was your question. As for help with your lost phone, your only option is to use the Find My app or online at iCloud to locate, erase, and mark as lost.

This support article has a list of things to do if your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen. --> If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen - Apple Support

- The Find My service described in the article is the only recovery feature Apple offers. It must be set up before the device is lost.

- If your phone is lost or stolen there is a case for NOT doing step #7 and removing the device from your account. Removing it would disable Activation Lock and make the device usable to a thief or a finder. As long as you set Lost Mode and/or erase the device, it will be not be recognized as a trusted device.
