How do I make my iPhone ask for a password before turning off? If someone steals my phone, they shouldn’t be able to switch it off and make it hard to find on findmy.

not supported, if it was then all the people who come here with issues that require them to restart their device would be in trouble if they forgot it though
and thiefs could just put it in a metal box shielding the signals
but you can suggest apple add this feature using their feedback channels
This is never going to happen. For one, if your phone locks up you would not be able to power cycle the phone to get it working again if the screen was frozen and you needed to input a password.
There are many ways a thief can block the phone from being detected such as using a Faraday bag or wrapping the phone in aluminum foil.
