My Lock Screen and wallpaper images are old photos that are no longer in my photo library. Since the phone keeps glitching to black background, I want to make sure I have copies of the images as backups. Is there any way to save these images to my photo library?

That does not help.
These photos must be stored somewhere in order for them to keep being used when I get new phones. How do I find them?

Hey there! Unfortunately you can’t do that. Sorry! Hope this helps.
Those files are not stored in a user-accessible place. However, the files should be included in your backups. If you need to restore the phone from a backup, you should see your wallpaper. I've been transferring the same wallpaper from phone to phone for years.
The only other thing I can think of that you can do, if you haven't kept backups of the photos is to clear as much as you can off the screen and take a screenshot and use that.
From now on, make sure that you back up (not just sync to iCloud) important files.
