I just got home and realised my ipad has been missing over 11 hrs ago. I left it in my car at walmart for change of oil car service. Now i went through my find my app and discover that my ipad is not listed among the devices. How do i lock my ipad pro max for a start, or even find it ?

Start here:
Locate a device in Find My on iPad - Apple Support
Here is Apple’s advice for lost or stolen devices:
If your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch is lost or stolen – Apple Support
Use the Find My app to locate a lost or stolen device – Apple Support
If the Find My iPad feature was enabled prior to it being “misplaced”, then if active, you would stand a good chance of locating it.
However, if the feature was not activated prior to being misplaced - or the iPad has been inactive or without an active network connection for more than 24 hours, the last known location will not be available - and the opportunity to use technical means to recover or remotely manage the iPad have been lost.
It is a bad sign that your iPad is not listed in the Find My app. That suggests that you never enabled Find My on the iPad, which would mean you cannot lock the iPad remotely or find it with the Find My service.
