I found this thread for you. I'm sure you're looking for any of those wallets.

hello,

I like to know where I can create a secure bitcoin wallet where I can keep my bitcoins for years, when I see websites that offer bitcoin wallet, I fear that one day the site no longer exists, and I lose all my bitcoins.

thanks.

You have to make sure to keep your Public/Private Key combination safe if you wish to keep the wallet for years.  I recommend generating these yourself and not storing the wallet on a website for long term.

Allowing only the wallet website to hold onto your Keys while a password is your access to your Public/Private Keys means that if the website goes offline, yes you will lose access to those wallet addresses and the funding.   If you backup your Public/Private Keys somewhere for each address, you will not lose access when the website goes offline as you can import your funds to another wallet.

If you afraid of online wallets, why do you bother about it? Download bitcoin core or use paper wallets or use multibit (light weight) wallet

You should look into a hardware wallet:

Keeping money in an online wallet is a bad idea.

The most important thing about creating a wallet, is that you have created the private key yourself and that you backup your private key.
