I’d first check Settings > Apps > Messages > Send & Receive and try signing in there with your Apple Account.

If it won’t sign in, restart the iPhone and make sure you have a working Wi-Fi or cellular connection.

Do you see an exact error message when you try to sign in? That would help narrow down what’s blocking it.

Try this

Network: Make sure you are connected to a strong Wi-Fi network or cellular data.

Date & Time: Go to Settings > General > Date & Time and make sure "Set Automatically" is turned on.

iOS Update: Check that your device runs the newest software version available in Settings > General > Software Update
