I am trying to resize the partition disk0s2 in my Mac. My diskutil list shows:

/dev/disk0 (internal, physical):
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER

   5:                APFS Volume macOs                   11.1 GB    disk1s5

and my diskutil apfs list:

However, when I try to resize my container disk0s2 by:

diskutil ap resizeContainer disk0s2 0

I get:

Started APFS operation
Aligning grow delta to 29.438.464.000 bytes and targeting a new physical store size of 89.999.998.976 bytes
Determined the maximum size for the targeted physical store of this APFS Container to be 60.561.534.976 bytes
Error: -69519: The target disk is too small for this operation, or a gap is required in your partition map which is missing or too small, which is often caused by an attempt to grow a partition beyond the beginning of another partition or beyond the end of partition map usable space

I have about 60GB free in my disk0, but it is not even being showed up in my Disk Utility:

enter image description here

How can I add this 60Gb free on my disk0s2??

Your problem is usually caused by the existence of another partition. In your case, this would probably be the partition associated with the identifier disk0s3. If you do not need this partition, then the command below with remove the partition

sudo diskutil erasevolume free none disk0s3

You then can try entering the command given in your question.

If you first want to confirm this partition is causing the problem, the edit your question and post the output from the following commands.

diskutil info disk0s2 | grep -e Offset -e Size
diskutil info disk0s3 | grep -e Offset -e Size
