Hello,
I have a <username>@gmail.com appleid already in use. And I want to create a new icloud mail account in iphone settings. But I'm getting an error when creating an new icloud mail account.
Can you please help me what's wrong?

Your Apple ID say example1@gmail.com is signed in the device .
Maximum limit for creating Apple ID from the hardware address of iphone is three , you can't create more Apple ID accounts , however again sign in with your same Apple ID and it's account credentials ( in fact you have signed out the Apple ID ) in the empty fields or sign in with another apple id that was created from another Mac / iPad or different iPhone .

Note : if you are trying to create email account already used from this iPhone say example2@icloud.com this as an Apple ID and maximum limit of creating this mail address has been reused , the account will not be created.
You can use a different Apple ID already created from a different browser and then add the mail account Add an email account to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Thank you for your reply,
I would like to create a new iCloud email account with my Gmail.com Apple ID, which is currently signed in on an iPhone. In the Mail settings of the Settings app, I am trying to create an email account, but it throws an error. I tried on another iPhone, but the same error occurred again.
Finally, I was able to fix the problem using my iPad, which also uses the same Apple ID associated with Gmail.com.
I believe there may be an issue with iOS.
I'm getting an error when creating an icloud mail account.
