Hey there!
You can download older OS versions from here:
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211683
Although you do have to erase your hard drive to install them, and probably need to create a bootable installer with the old OS as well:
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201372
First will have to erase the internal drive (This is on Intel Macs):
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208496
Although if you’re Mac is a little bit older, you can startup with Shift Option Command R, erase the HD using Disk Utility, then install the original OS afterwards.

Another fact isn’t that if your Mac came stock with the newest OS, you will not be able to revert it to an earlier OS.
Hope something here helps, let me know!
