I need help resetting my password. I do not remember my password but when I try the “forgot password” it’s asking me for my old phone number and I do not remember it. Is there another way to reset my password?

That would mean you are using two factor authentication and it was trying to start account recovery. You can try resetting from all other trusted devices using the same Apple ID following https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201487
If you cannot you will need to figure out the Trusted phone number you used. Check with friends, family, current and prior carriers to see if you can figure it out as you’ll need to verify that old number as a security measure, but then can provide a new number for contact when account recovery is completed.
While their online support article says for forgotten password, account recovery steps are also for a new phone number if you can’t sign in to update the number. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204921
