Hi,
there is no command line tool that can lock the screen, but it’s possible by calling the Win32 API function.
This can be done by Rundll32.exe
D:\> Rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation

FYI – Also if you want to run screen saver then lock screen via a one line cmd line. Good for using for shortcut key scripts.
start /wait %windir%\SCREENAVER.scr & rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation
