You’re in account recovery, which is an automated process that users can use when they don’t have a trusted device available.
Account recovery is a two phase process and Apple specifically says “You’ll get an email with a confirmation of your request and the date and time when you can expect to regain access. This email arrives within 72 hours.
It might be several days or more before you can reset your password. Contacting Apple Support can’t help you shorten this time.” How to use account recovery when you can’t reset your Apple Account password - Apple Support
You just have to wait and let the process complete.
