There are two different versions to how Achilles mother (Thetis) made him invulnerable.

The first is that she dipped Achilles into the river Styx and held him by his heel thus making all but his heel invulnerable which was eventually his downfall.

The second was that Thetis covered him in ambrosia and was burning away his mortality the house fire, Peleus discovering the plan snatched Achilles away before Thetis could finish his heel.

I hope this helps and if you want to read about it yourself.

This gives you the basic idea of these two versions.
