To reinforce (and add to) what steadman1 has told you:

Can u at least tell me how I get my downloaded CD’s onto my iPhone?
Do you still have iTunes installed on your computer?
When u finish paying for your subscription, any music u did not “buy” goes away. Not true?
True, but as steadman1 mentioned, Apple music is (like Spotify, Amazon Music {or whatever it's called} and any other subscription service is just that - a subscription and when you stop paying, you stop having the service.
But music that you have purchased, either from the iTunes store or from other sources (such as Amazon, Bandcamp etc.) are yours to keep. Apple has released apps (to replace iTunes) that will synchronise with devices, although I don't consider them to be full replacements as yet and I continue to use iTunes.
