Apple ID mix up?

so when I was younger I created an apple ID with a fake email address and I forgot my password, so then I created another apple ID with my real adress, and I am signed in with my newer one and even got a new phone but the settings still ask me to sign in with my old apple ID, and it won’t let me use apps that are already downloaded to my phone like IMovie because it wants me to still sign in with my old Apple ID.
