Phone not unlocked prior to port to Verizon, phone has been payed off 3 months

I signed up for verizon wireless today and ported my xfinity mobile number.  The phone is payed off and I put in my eSim number into the verizon website and started the port process.  Xfinity gave me the PIN required to port my number as well.  Xfinity then canceled my account and I cannot connect to either Verizon or Xfinity mobile.  My phone still says Network Lock Status: Locked.  I interpret this as my phone will be unable to connect to verizon wireless.  I need someone from Xfinity to unlock my phone and likely give me a temporary number so that I can finally port my number to verizon.

@XfinityAlyssaA​ I cannot use my phone as I'm not connected to any network now.  I have been using free phone call apps to call Xfinity and Verizon.  I also went into the Verizon store for help.  They claim Xfinity is "releasing" my number at 3:30pm EDT tomorrow for some reason.  I need my number available immediately for work.  How will my phone get any "unlock" signal when Xfinity canceled my mobile account without unlocking my phone?
