Nope. Find My MUST be enabled before a phone goes missing. Since it is not associated with your account, the only way you can track it is with your eyes and that's not likely going to be fruitful.

Things to do:

1. Contact your carrier and ask them to blacklist the phone, so it can't be used on any carrier network
2. If you have credit cards tied to your account, contact your card carriers and ask them to shut down the cards and issue new cards
3. Change your Apple ID Password --> Change your Apple ID password - Apple Support
4. Change the passwords to any applications you have tied to financial institutions
5. File a stolen device report with your local police, though they won't likely do much for you in this regard
6. Buy a new phone as you'll likely never see your phone again

Replace your iPhone.

This particular stolen iPhone is unlikely coming back.

Whether your passcode was compromised, or your Apple ID was compromised, your stolen iPhone is gone.

That the user seemingly also got into your Apple ID is a big problem, too.

What to do: If your iPhone or iPad is lost or stolen - Apple Support

More generally: Re-secure your quite-possibly compromised Apple ID, then review your security with Safety Check, and enable two-factor authentication and whatever mix of trusted telephone numbers or establishing recovery contacts or maybe security keys.

Then on your replacement iPhone select a longer and more robust passcode, and enable Face ID or Touch ID, enable Stolen Device Protection, and continue on with the rest of your life.

You can't. It's gone. You will never see it again.

Make sure you enable find my on your next phone. It may not allow you to recover it if it's stolen, but at least it will be useless to the thief, unlike this one.

If it is not in your Find My devices, it is not associated with that Apple ID. There is no way to locate it.
