Self-clean cycles are the single hardest thing an older range does, and on this generation a door that stays locked afterwards is common. The lock releases only once the cavity has cooled, which can take well over an hour.
If it is still locked after full cooling, turn the breaker off for a minute, restore it, and try a short bake cycle to reset the lock motor. Beyond that, the lock assembly and the control are technician work, and the range should be isolated at the breaker before any panel comes off.
