Hello Cayce1960,
If you have access to a trusted device, you may be able to get a verification code via Settings. This resource has more details on that process: Get a verification code and sign in with two-factor authentication - Apple Support
Should you be unable to access a trusted device, and no longer have access to your trusted phone number, you'll need to start the account recovery process in order to reset your password: How to use account recovery when you can’t reset your Apple ID password - Apple Support That is an automated process, and can take several days or longer to complete.
Hopefully those resources put you on the path to regaining access to your Apple ID.
Take care.
