Here's a link for an article that explains why fruit trees grow thorns. I don't believe it means the tree is in trouble. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/citrus/thorns-on-citrus-trees.htm

The reasons they have not produced fruit are probably a different issue. I don't know what kind of tree you have, but I hope this article about lemon trees will help with that:
