If you correctly submitted the work for payment via the "Submit for payment function on the contract, the money in escrow (only) is released 14 days later if the client doesn't react.

In future, don't do work for $125 if only $20 is funded. If $20 is funded, you do $20 worth of work.

Is it possible to dispute against the client and ban his account so that he cannot scam other people on upwork? I wanted to report the user but don't know how to do that

No.

Let this go.

Dont report the client.

You are the freelancer. You are the one who used Upwork incorrectly 

In the future, don't work for unfunded milestones.

There is nothing to dispute. You had a $20 milestone. If you decide to do work in excess of that, that's basically on you.
