The people who respond and provide advice are all volunteers. The paid Upwork staff members are the moderators, who are identified in their posts. You will find people may be more willing to give you free help if you were not acting like you were paying. You waited 3 (three) minutes before posting again?
Your profile is private, and it needs to be viewed to see what's going on. If you make it public, and show a little patience, someone might be kind enough to help you.
Go to the top of the page, and use the Academy. Your profile must be excellent, your proposals must be even better. If you don't have every qualification for the job, don't apply. Learn how to improve through the Upwork and community resources. If you are hiding your profile from clients, how do you expect to receive invitations?

Mistakenly my upwork profile set to private yesterday

You need to use the Academy and other resources to create a good profile. Is Butt Creatives the name of your Agency? Where does the name come from? Are you aware of the English meaning? So, you work as an individual and through the agency? Your profile is for a freelancer, not an agency.
The writing needs to be rewritten, and use a spell and grammar program or a native or bilingual English speaker, because there are many mistakes, and it doesn't read well. The first line is all the client sees in a search, so don't waste it. Use it to tell the client why your skills are better than the rest, if you have the hard skills to back it up. Develop some material for the introduction. Use the space to highlight your skills and what you can do for the client.
