Forgotten password and iCloud account

i found an old phone of mine and forgot the password. it seems that the only way i could get back in is if i factor reset it. my old phone has my current icloud signed into it so if i did factor reset it, would it erase my data on my current phone?

iPhone 11, iOS 18

You are correct that you will likely need to factory reset it using a computer:

Resetting one iPhone to factory settings has no affect on another iPhone that you may also be using.
