Hello Omar7864you,


It sounds like you’ve already made the maximum number of Apple IDs allowed on one device. If you have another device, you could create a new Apple ID on that one instead. This article provides more information regarding the message you received: If you see a Could Not Create Apple ID or Could Not Set Up iCloud message - Apple Support


Feel free to get back to us with any questions or problems you may have.


All the best.
