Here is the screenshots of my steps to import isbns. Calibre has the choice of adding from isbns, so i did this.
In the last screen shot, one of those buttons is to display the details of the attempt to download the metadata. Clicking it will show the log of what was done. And any errors. One of the other buttons is to copy the log into the clipboard. Then you can post that for us.

But, trying just the first on in the list, I was able to get a match. The matches came from Google and Goodreads. Google is one of the built-in plugins. Goodreads is one you need to install.

Which gets us to @thiago.eec's post. You need to install or configure the metadata source plugins to do the searches. And look at the results in the log to see more about what happened.
