iPhone cannot be tracked by serial number OR IMEI. In order to track a lost or stolen iPhone, you need to have enabled Find My before the phone went missing and the phone needs to be powered on and connected to a network. You should contact your Carrier who does know your IMEI and ask them to Blacklist the phone so it cannot be connected to any network again.
