So apparently iPhoto isn't supported in the version of my macOS. I hit the "learn more" button but the information provided doesn't help. It just says to reach out to the developer, which is Apple. Has anyone had this issue? And has anyone been able to resolve it? I have thousands of photos and I need to get access to them.

There have been thousands of posts on this on these boards. Photos replaced iPhoto years ago. Photos can convert iPhoto Libraries. Launch the Photos App with the option key held down. From the resulting dialog, choose your iPhoto Library. Photos will create a new library with your iPhoto media. Your iPhoto Library will not be changed.

iPhoto was discontinued 5 years ago. It is no longer developed or sold. It was replaced by the more powerful (and free) Photos.app that comes with the OS. You can migrate to that app very simply:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch Photos. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and point at your iPhoto Library. It will do the rest.
If you prefer not to use Photos there are several 3rd party apps that you can use. Which to choose depends on the kind of photographer you are and your budget.
