This does not suggest telnetd is running, as no process of these is
telnetd.

Use "sv status telnetd" to check, it probably says "down: ...".

If you still use socklog-unix, look at /var/log/socklog/daemon/current

Else try to start the telnetd run script manually and look for errors:
/var/service/telnetd/run

Else post the script, it seems to be manually created.

As telnetd classically needs to be started from inetd, you need to use
some tcpserver to launch it (djb tcpserver or s6-tcpserver).

Status of daemon.

In Void, installed inetutils-telnet.

# telnet localhost
Trying ::1...
Connection failed: Connection refused
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
#
# ps aux | grep telnetd
root       754  0.0  0.0   2388  1280 ?        Ss   07:18   0:02 runsv telnetd
root       773  0.0  0.0   2508  1280 ?        S    07:18   0:00 vlogger -t telnetd -p daemon
root     32002  0.0  0.0   6600  2432 pts/3    S+   08:32   0:00 grep telnetd

telnetd is running and declined the connection request?

Can I learn more from a log?  If so, how is the log accessed?
cat ... ?

Thanks,                     ... P.
