If the key is turning the lock barrel, then the barrel notch pins must be stuck or broken or just worn away.
Try a squirt of WD40 into the lock, then insert key and wiggle it about.
If that doesn't work, it's a new or second hand lock and key to match.

If the key doesn't spin around then wiggle the handle as you try and turn the key, again stick some wd40 in there and that will help free it up

I was told the barrel can't be changed and ended up replacing the complete handle.
