If you create/use a new Apple ID, you will lose access to some of your data and the purchases made with your existing Apple ID. For the purchases, you can try setting up Family Sharing between the IDs if you want to be able to share purchases made with the IDs.


Family Sharing.         


Family Sharing - Set up.       


Apple ID - create a new.      


Apple ID – Create        


Apple ID - Could Not Create or Could Not Set Up iCloud message.    


Why not do a name change on your current ID so you can retain your data and purchases? Note the restrictions in the article.
