By default you cannot ping a pfsense firewall. You need to add a rule to allow it.
Open your pfsense GUI interface , Navigate to Firewall > Rules
now add a rule Action : Pass , Interface : WAN , Protocol : ICMP , Source Type : Any and Destination : WAN address .
then click on the Apply changes to apply the rule.
Now it will create a new rule entry for ICMP traffic.
