Code can run on tinkercad but not in arduino board

// C++ code
//
#include <Servo.h>

int DistanceIN = 0;

int DistanceOut = 0;

long readUltrasonicDistance(int triggerPin, int echoPin)
{
pinMode(triggerPin, OUTPUT); // Clear the trigger
digitalWrite(triggerPin, LOW);
delayMicroseconds(2);
// Sets the trigger pin to HIGH state for 10 microseconds
digitalWrite(triggerPin, HIGH);
delayMicroseconds(10);
digitalWrite(triggerPin, LOW);
pinMode(echoPin, INPUT);
// Reads the echo pin, and returns the sound wave travel time in microseconds
return pulseIn(echoPin, HIGH);
}

Servo servo_9;

void setup()
{
pinMode(A0, OUTPUT);
servo_9.attach(9, 500, 2500);

}

void loop()
{
DistanceIN = 0.01723 * readUltrasonicDistance(12, 12);
DistanceOut = 0.01723 * readUltrasonicDistance(10, 11);
if (DistanceIN <= 30) {
tone(A0, 523, 5000); // play tone 60 (C5 = 523 Hz)
} else {
noTone(A0);
}
if (DistanceOut <= 30) {
servo_9.write(90);
} else {
servo_9.write(0);
}
delay(10); // Delay a little bit to improve simulation performance
}

I'm using this code to execute my project but nothing happened on my arduino yet in run on tinkercad.

Looks better this way

Have you verified all hardware connections? How is your circuit powered? Can you post a schematic and clear photos of your circuit?

Have you tried putting in a Serial.print after the first if-statement in the main loop to verify you get there and one before it to see what kind of distance measurements you get?
Have you tried println-ing the raw values you get through readUltrasonicDistance?

Have you tried a very simple sketch that drives the servo without any if-conditions to verify you can successfully drive it from your Arduino?

Hello @iceax, your topic has been moved to a more suitable location on the forum.

Can you please take some time to read How to get the best out of this forum and apply what you learned / read.

Using the same pin for trigger and echo won't work.

What is connected to pin A0 to play the tone?

A schematic of the project would be helpful.

   DistanceIN = 0.01723 * readUltrasonicDistance(12, 12);
   DistanceOut = 0.01723 * readUltrasonicDistance(10, 11);

You need some temporal separation between pings or you are likely to get false echos. One rangefinder cannot distinguish its ping from an other's. I use 30 to 50 milliseconds between successive pings.
