Because of BIP 91 it's currently recommended to wait for far more confirmations before trusting a transaction that you sent.

Bittrex decided that they can't deal with this uncertainty.

You could always use another altcoin exchange (preferably not Poloniex or YoBit), or you could wait until after August 1st when the disruption finishes.

Discard BTC transaction before the end of August, at least.
The threat of a split is not great, but it exists.
The forum is full of messages about this. Just wait  Grin

I didn't get it. If the bitcoin wallets are completely closed, how are people buying and selling altcoins now? If they have tokens, they can sell which is okay, but how about buying them without btc? I don't think they do it with ETH.
Bitcoin balances on Bittrex can be used normally.

Read their Statement in the link.

You can just use normal trading and deposit/withdraw any altcoin during these times.

You will just have to wait until their wallet is functioning, they have wallet maintenances regularly I assume this is the reason why its currently not working?
Bittrex had notification to user on their twitter about frozen function send/receive Bitcoin when BIP91 lock-in, you can read more in this tweet:

They could and should have announced that on their own website, in such a way that you can't miss it when you visit their site.
Who checks random third-party websites to see if they have something to say?

I know but i dont have any bitcoin to buy any other altcoins. I wanted to buy Btc at coinbase and send them to bittrex  but i cannot do that now
You could use shapeshift.io , they seem to be still accepting Bitcoin transactions. It will cost you another percentage though.
