hold down the option key while starting photos. Select the old library to open.

It will be upgraded for Mojave - you might want to back it up first, so you can go back to it if needed.

If it is on an external drive - is the drive formatted APFS or MacOS exteneded (journaled). If not, the library needs to be moved to a drive that is.
