Can I transfer paid apps to another icloud account?
Does anyone know if I can transfer apps I paid for with my account to my sons account ? I will still be the one paying for apps, but I created a separate account for him on his iPad.

Apps are forever tied to the AppleID from which they are purchased. You can, however, selectively share purchased Apple Services, Subscriptions, Apps and Media using Apple’s Family Sharing features:
Set up Family Sharing – Apple Support
Share App Store, iTunes Store and Apple Books purchases with Family Sharing – Apple Support

Apps are only available and usable with the Apple ID account used to purchase them; they cannot be transferred to another account. And I'm not sure how you created another account since iDevices are single user devices.
