Is there a way in Android 11 to an icon to the home screen, that if pressed, will lock the screen?

I don't like locking the screen through the power button.

Thanks

YES!

Greenify has this option.

There are even two different ways it can be done, an icon or a long press on the home button.

Also, if you prefer, there are apps that can lock the screen when the proximity sensor is covered for a set length of time.

I use both of the apps I suggested on all of my devices, because I do not like using the power button either.

Tasker offers two locking options, the regular system lock, or taskers own lock, which will present a number pad to unlock. You can activate either lock in any of a number of ways, I do it it with a left - right shake of the phone.
