I'm not sure I understand what you wrote, the Oreo stock firmware I mentioned is the stock firmware you flash via fastboot, using the flashing commands in the ADB terminal. As we don't have that yet, you won't be able to lock your device if you've formally updated to Oreo.
Want some guidence and having some questions about custom rom.

Before one year i unlock my bootloader and install twrp at that time but after that I brick my device and flash nought flash file ,so I locked my bootloader at that time .So now I want to unlock bootloader and I have key for unlock bootloader (Motorola sent me through mail) so it is a unique key which is usable whenever I want unlock bootloader or it is a key which is generated every time when I want unlock bootloader???
The unlock key you've been sent by Motorola should be a key usable whenever you want to unlock your bootloader. As I understand it, the key is unique to your device/hardware, so as long as nothing has changed with your device hardware (and you have no issues with IMEI or signal, for example), the key should still work.
As before, your device will be erased on unlocking your bootloader. Back up as required.
Ook , can you help me to solve problem of low sound after oreo update? My media sound is slow but in calling when I put in speaker it is ok.
It contains your IMEI numbers and is essential for your device operation as a phone. So backup them once off your device and keep the backup well saved.
How to take backup?Help me for Step by step process ,and how to restore this backup?Only for those who want to back to stock rom after custom rom?[ I am on unlocked bootloader and stock rom 8.0 oreo ,so which twrp do you suggest if I want 64 bit custom rom .]

Any 64 bit TWRP should suffice in flashing 64 bit custom ROMs. 32 bit TWRP, including the official TWRP won't work with 64 bit custom ROMs.
For also backing up your EFS, you want Lyuu's TWRP https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...t/recovery-team-win-recovery-project-t3842903
EFS backup should be under the back up options.
In addition to what strongst mentioned, EFS is a cache generated by your modem and baseband. You may need this if you're switching between custom ROMs and stock (especially if you choose to downgrade to stock Nougat for whatever reason). However, official updates and firmware flashing of stock firmware will erase your EFS ( I guess normally the cache is rebuilt, usually successfully). However, if you've been hopping between firmwares, you may need this backup or try to repair your IMEI if you run into signal issues https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/guide-moto-g4-plus-imei0-issue-t3859068
I have some questions::
1) I install lyuu's twrp with efs in Moto g4 plus ,it is 64bit recovery??because it is not shown in recovery name.it show twrp 3.2.3 ,not twrp 3.2.3 arm 64..
2) in backup option which backup I should do ??make backup of all the option or some other before installing pie ROM ?
3) how many times efs backup should take means before installing custom ROM ,after installing custom ROM , before revert back to stock or after revert back to stock ROM??? Or just one time and saved the backup in SD card or pendrive???

1) Yes it is 64 bit
2) Backup all things if you don't know what that means and also for safety.
3) Backup - Only 1 time before installing custom rom
Restore - When having some problem.
Save it wherever you think its safe ( I backup one copy on pc, one on cloud and one on sd card)

Some guys told that before installing custom rom don't clear internal storage because it's delete partition ,make only clear dalil,cache and system , so please what is true??
System, data, cache needs to be wiped. Internal storage not(on some devices Yes).
You cannot delete partitions within twrp.
Ook if I zip file of rom and gapps ,i need backup of photos ,videos and other if I don't clear internal storage??
