You’ve taken the right steps. Now you just need to wait those 6 days. You are now in account recovery phase 2 where https://iforgot.apple.com/ will give you the final amount of time you’ll wait. On that final day you’ll get a text/call, follow that text/call immediately. If you don’t receive the text or call, once the period specified in the original email is over, you can still go directly to apple.com/recover. Follow the instructions to regain access to your Apple Account.
