Hi Mahesh,
For linking contact to account- first you need to insert an account into object so then you can query Id of that record and you create a contact for that perticular account.
Ex:
Account a = [select Id, Name from Account where Name = ''Shaik'];
Contact c = new Contact();
c.LastName = 'somename';
c.AccountId = a.Id;
insert c;

Hope it helps.
If you provide your code, it helps us to provide you a better sollution.
Let me know if it works/any help needed.

Thanks,
Shaik Murthujavali

Thank you for the reply. Please find the below code,

global static ID createAccount(String name,String parent, String accountMgr,String setUpFee,String lastName) {
//Create the account object        
Account restAcc = new Account(
                                      Name=name,
                                      ParentId=parent,
                                      Account_Manager__c=accountMgr, 
                                      Account_Set_up_Fee__c=setUpFee,
                                      );
        insert restAcc;
// i need to create the Contact object for the above Account created.
                                       Contact restCont = new Contact(LastName=lastName );
                                       insert restCont;
        return restAcc.Id;
        
        }

can i create contact right after the creation of the account? if so let me know how to do it the above code?

Hi Mahesh,

Use the below code get the solution: 
Account accountObj = new Account();
accountObj.Name='abc';
insert accountObj;

Contact contactObj = new Contact();
contactObj.LastName = 'xyz';
contactObj.AccountId = accountObj.Id;
insert contactObj;
I hope you find the above solution helpful. If it does, please mark as Best Answer to help others too.

Thanks and Regards,
