My Find My IPhone app is not working. I've used it for many years on al my apple phones and computers. Suddenly, it just disappeared. I'm not sure how to get it back. It doesn't even show up in my apps.
All details above. Thanks.

Well, if the app disappeared, that would explain why it is not working.
Keep swiping left on your Home screen until you see the App Library.
Is Find My there? If yes, drag it back to where you want it. You don't remember, but you accidentally moved Find My at some point.
You need to go to the App Store and download the Find My app.
No, you don't. Find My cannot be deleted, so no need to try to download it again. It's in the App Library on the phone.
To see if you hid the Find My app, keep swiping left on your iPhone until you reach the App Library, then search for the Find My app and drag it back to your Home Screen. Then to see if you deleted the Find My app, search for it in the App Store and redownload it.
We may be talking about two different apps.
Wikipedia says that Apple originally released Find My alongside iOS 13.0, to perform the same job as the old Find My iPhone and Find My Friends apps.
It is possible to remove the Find My app.
Remove or delete apps from iPhone - Apple Support
"Removing this app doesn’t turn off location sharing or Find My for your device or items—it just removes the ability to view locations in the Find My app on that device."
If one removed the app (instead of simply removing the Home Screen icon), I assume one could get it back with a trip to the App Store.

You in fact can delete Find My. I just tested it.

My mistake. Thanks. Let's hope the OP found it on their phone.
How do I restore the Find My iPhone app on my Apple devices?
