I downloaded a vpn from the App Store & it completely screwed up my phone. I took it to my local store who when I explained what I had done, immediately erased the app and advised that apple products don’t need virus protection. Is this true? I was using iPhone XS at the time.

That's true. Unless your iphone has been jailbroken, it can't get any virus.

In a nutshell, jailbreaking procedure is a tampering with the iOS (iPhone operating system), in order to bypass any restrictions (but also security) of the iPhone, imposed by Apple.
If your iPhone only uses official updates from Apple and / or downloads of apps from the AppStore, you don't need to worry.

Yes true, there have been a few things on older ios devices that the ios code may not be written for. Using cellular or Wifi for VPN may be an issue due to older hardware being controlled by newer software...perhaps. Try different VPN Apps would be my only suggestion.
Thank you for your reply, it’s very reassuring, but what is jail broken?
That’s good to know, thank you again. Much appreciated.

My pleasure :-)
