During a FaceTime call, tap the screen and look for the camera flip button. It may be set to the back camera. Also try Settings, Apps, FaceTime and make sure Camera access isn't restricted in Screen Time.
If it still won't use the front camera, sign out of FaceTime and back in, then reset all settings as a last step (your data stays). If the front camera works in other apps, it's probably software and worth reporting to Apple support.
