The support article If your Apple ID is locked, not active, or disabled - Apple Support has solutions for three frequently encountered reasons for an account to be disabled/locked/not-active:
● If a message says "your account has been disabled in the App Store and iTunes Store" or "You cannot login because your account has been locked", you might be able to request reactivation by tapping Continue right from the alert. If that does not work, Apple provides a link for this specific issue. Tap or click here and choose a self-help or contact method ➞ https://getsupport.apple.com/?caller=kbase&PGF=PGF63005&category_id=SC0245&symptom_id=23362 .
● If your account has been disabled for “security reasons” the solution is to reset your password as outlined in this document: If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
If you find you can’t sign in, reset your password, or receive verification codes, you can request account recovery (read this support article: How to use account recovery when you can’t reset your Apple ID password - Apple Support ) to regain access to your account. More detail in —> Activation Lockout Issues - Apple Community For additional assistance from Apple Security, read: Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support
● If your account says “Account Locked”, or it is inactive, that is not the same as it being disabled.

What did Apple say when you called them?
If it is repeated ly being disabled (you do not actually say this) it may be somebody keeps on trying to log into your account. If they enter your password incorrectly too many times your account becomes disabled. Are you using two factor authentication?
Nobody on this forum works for Apple. There is nothing we can "do" from our end. All we can do is provide advice on things the person asking the question has to try. Apple tells you to contact them if it says it is "inactive", but you said that does not work. Why doesn't it work? Again, is it being repeatedly disabled (which is not the same as being "inactive")?
Hello thanks for your assistance but it didn't work, it keeps saying that the ID is locked
I don't know why for some reason it's not working for me, this thing has been happening for the past 3 months and it's really frustrating
No I am not using 2 factor authentication... I don't know if there's any way you can help me out from your end please
