Firstly, have the flute checked by a woodwind specialist in repairing and servicing.
Assuming there isn't anything wrong with the instrument,There's a lot more to producing the note than just the fngering. It really takes a long time to get the idea of adjusting the embrochure and suporting the sound with air propelled from the diaphragm and abdominal muscles, but it's worth it. The quality of the sound is made from you, not just your breath across the lip plate combined with the right combination of fingers. It's what makes the instrument sound varied, individual and colourful.
It would be a good idea to have a teacher to train you.
