Welcome to the Apple Community phinee

You can only locate, lock or erase your device when it is logged into iCloud and 'Find My Phone' is enabled, additionally the device will need to be switched on and connected to a wifi or cellular network.

Unfortunately, you cannot activate iCloud or 'Find My Phone' remotely.

You can't until it goes back online, if ever. Place it lost mode. Read here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5668.
