Disconnect the iPhone from the PC.
Perform a Forced Restart on your iPhone
Force restart iPhone - Apple Support
Connect the iPhone back to the PC and see if it will appear in Apple Devices.
If no luck after a few tries, there is a serious hardware issue with the iPhone that require repairs at the Apple Store / Genius Bar or Authorized Apple Service Provider.

You'll need to restore it, and set it up again, to sign in with your Apple Account so it can appear on your
Devices list again.
