Now, you should be able to create a container.

read-only lock prevented you from adding a container to your storage account.

Once the lock type was changed (or removed), you were able to add a container.

You should get a notification letting you know you can’t delete the resource because it has a delete lock. In order to delete the storage account, you need to remove the delete lock.
