Did you flashed the initial Firmware from HA to the device with a cable?

Ok. I don't know your setup. Either plug in the esp device to your HA server and flash it. Or Manual download the firmware and do the flashing on another pc. For example, you could use this website: https://web.esphome.io/

If you encounter problems.....check that you have the correct driver and / or test another usb cable.

After successfully connected the esp to HA, you are able to Update the device wirelessly.

Sorry, i'm struggling understanding youre answer. You have to "install" -> "Manual Download". Than you get a bin file that you can flash onto the device.
In youre YAML File is the code for the esp. Either you set a static ip address or you use dhcp. So you have to check youre DHCP-Server for the IP Address. But if WiFi works, it is not neccessary to know the IP Address because the esp will connect to HA. If WiFi fails, you will the Captive Portal network (if you have defined one).

If it has connected before, than maybe now it is not booting, so it can't connect to wifi.
Can you post youre yaml?
