Bitlocker is only available in Windows 7 Ultimate and Enterprise. It is not available in Windows 7 Home Premium.
See information in the Windows 7 Professional for Small Business chart posted. Bitlocker is the next to last feature compared on the chart.

You find a 3rd party encryption utility via an internet search.
Or you upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate or Windows 10 Professional.
