If your issue is isolated to your third party—if in doubt search the developers website or contact their: Support/Help/FAQ/Known issues/compatibility/updates…
Contact a third-party vendor - Apple Support

I think you need to provide more detail.
What is stopping you from renaming the file or moving it?
How are you trying to do this?
How did you do this in the past?
What error message (if any) do you get when you try?
Does it happen in all applications? or specific ones?
You specifically say 'download', which implies online, but then go on to say they are your own images created in Canva. Assuming you're using the web version of Canva, I see there is an option to 'Download Image' which automatically goes to Downloads, just like any other downloaded file.
The alternative is to Ctrl-click on the image and use Save Image As... which uses the standard Save File... dialog and you can give any filename and location you like.
Are you saying that's not working for you?

" I download an image" from where....? Maybe it is a copyright issue.
Ok when I create a file in Canva for example, I then download the file which I can access at the top or sometimes it pops up automatically. So I go to the top and click on the title to edit, and I edit it. Then below, I usually choose to save it on my desktop so I can move it to a specific folder from there. However, after I change the file name and location to desktop, it goes back to the generic file name and downloads location. No matter what I try, it refuses to rename or relocate.
What you are suggesting above - I don't see any Save Image As option especially as most of these are documents as much as images.

no my issues isn't isolated to a third party either. This feature worked on my old mac, why does it not work on this one?
Why can't I rename and relocate downloaded images on my new MacBook Air?
