So, I did a paper return for my 2020 taxes, but I realized I never sent them to the IRS. By this time, I also had noticed a mistake on my return so I amended it, and then sent in the amended return. However, I never sent the original return in with my signature. It’s been 2 months since I sent my amended return and it won’t show up on my “Where’s My Amended Return?”. I have tried to contact the IRS but I always get transferred to a line that is always busy. What should I do?

do you mean it won't cancel?

or you can't find the Cancel command?

Did you get back INTO the account ... log in and scroll down and click on ADD A STATE and continue then that option should be on the left.

You cannot amend a return when you never sent in the original. You will need to send in the original and to send it by mail where you get a receipt.

So I should redo my taxes?

You should be able to just efile the original return. Or print, sign, and mail it with mail service that will give you a receipt when it is received. The amend will be discarded because there is no original return to amend.
