You have to do this in 2 parts first you have to build an associative array which will contain all 12 images URL, then you can loop through that array to display the images
1st part to built an array:
$owl_array = [];
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'post',
'post_status' => 'publish'
);
$query = new WP_Query($args);
if (!empty($query->posts)) {
foreach ($query->posts as $key => $post) {
//custom logic to get the image URL
$thumb_id = get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID);
$thumb_url_array = wp_get_attachment_image_src($thumb_id, 'thumbnail', true);
$owl_array[++$key] = (!empty($thumb_url_array[0])) ? $thumb_url_array[0] : 'http://example.com/default-image.jpg'; //assiging each featured image url into owl_array
}
}
//print_r($owl_array);
2nd part to diplay owl carousel:
<div class="owl-carousel">
<?php for ($i = 1; $i <= count($owl_array); $i++) { ?>
<div class="item">
<div class="col-sm-6">
<div class="col-sm-12 1">
<img src="<?php echo $owl_array[$i]; ?>">
</div>
<div class="col-sm-12 2">
<?php
$i++; //increment the counter
?>
<img src="<?php echo $owl_array[$i]; ?>">
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-6 3">
<?php
$i++; //increment the counter
?>
<img src="<?php echo $owl_array[$i]; ?>">
</div>
</div>
<?php } ?>
</div>
