I am not clear why you did things that way. Why not just continue using the previous ID?
When you say, "how do i delete a child account from my apple ID", do you mean delete them from your family sharing group? See the article 'Leave [/Cancel] Family Sharing', click here--> Leave Family Sharing - Apple Support

If your family includes children under 13 (age varies by country or region), you must first transfer them to a different Family Sharing group or request that Apple delete their accounts entirely.

Or do you mean delete the account altogether?

Section: Can I delete my child’s account?
"Your child can also request deletion of their Apple ID, which requires your approval.
The approval request will be sent via email to the primary Apple ID email address of your family organizer account. When approving the request from this email, you will go through the process of deleting the child account."
In 2018, a child did not need their own Apple ID, with the parent / child settings.
i spoke with a supervisor & got a work around. The apple techs didn’t understand the history of a parent/child set-up….so asking me to delete an Apple ID that doesn’t exist gets alittle frustrating.
this entire feature needs a complete overhaul
