I paid 2.99 for 200 gigs of storage but now I can’t download apps, it says I don’t have enough storage. How is that?

Buying more iCloud storage doesn't increase the amount of storage on your phone. See the information in https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT206504
including the following from the above link:
Free up space on your device
You can make storage space available on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when you use iCloud Photos and turn on Optimize Storage. Or you can remove content from your apps—like photos, music, and Podcasts—or delete the apps that you're not using.

iCloud storage is not the same as the flash storage that came with your device.
To make more room you need to move stuff off the device.
