More details to this question:
I have been married since 2017, I thought we were good although in the last year she has threatened me with divorce and kept stating I cannot live with her when I arrive in the US. I got through with my sponsorship, arrived in the US and she didn’t come to get me, she just sent me a text stating she wants a divorce and she will not give me my green card until I sign the divorce papers. What should I do???

You can file for a replacement card by filling out an address change if you have not received it in the mail. If you have been married for more than two years at the time of the consular interview then it's likely you received the permanent card. If you received the temporary 2 year card then it's going to be challenging to remove the conditions to get the permanent card when it expires. Retain counsel for representation.

You can get a replacement green card by filing a form with USCIS. However, it is likely you received a conditional green card and you will need to file for removal of that condition which you still may do even after divorce but you will need to have strong evidence that the marriage was real. You should consult with an attorney.
