I had to replace the alternator (my cousin did for
me) and now that it’s replaced, the key and the
steering wheel are locked.

Should have nothing to do with each other. Try putting pressure on the wheel (either direction) and turning the key when doing it. This typically will work if they were locked hard when the car was last run. It relieves the mechanical pressure on the front wheels.
