Several things have changed in the file system in Catalina, so the steps to revert to an earlier OS need to be followed exactly or they may wind up with 2 Mac HD - Data folders (and a corrupted install). This is especially important when trying to revert to an older OS version - but also when simply trying to reinstall Catalina since you can also wind up with 2 Data volumes.
Remember, you must erase your internal drive before you can do anything, so you need to have a backup made before you upgraded which includes the OS and all your files. And you must use recovery to erase the drive and reinstall - a USB installer will most likely not work in this case. Read the Apple article Barney linked to.
The only other way (if you do not have a Time machine backup) is to have a bootable external clone with the previous OS on it. You can boot from that, wipe your internal and then simply clone back your entire system.
