My macbook keeps saying locking and then completely turning off or it just goes completely black to turn off anytime I do something. Everything also charges really slow and it took 12 hours before it even got to 57% and says “charging (plugged in) and then right under that it says “battery not charging”.

The rule of thumb—if you are near the mains leave it plugged in, if you need the portability then run on the battery only—this is how you help optimize your battery charging and extend the working life of your battery by reducing the cycle count.
report back if no change.
First, check the power supply
second the charges to 80 percent because of optimisation of battery
your Mac is outdated, update it because it contain necessary improvements, no need to worry about Mac OS 26 because the issues have been solved and now they are improving it
