I deleted Call Of Duty yesterday because of some glitches with the gameplay, I tried to redownload it but I had to add payment and the game kept trying to charge my account. I had bought some in-game coins a while ago but now it keeps trying to charge me that same purchase and I don’t have that money anymore so it keeps failing and not letting me download the game. I have no idea what do to

Sometimes when you are redownloading a game/app, the system doesn't recognize it as a previous purchase until later in the purchase process and then offers to download it for free.
But the point here is that you appear to state that you've added an invalid payment method. A payment method that isn't funded. When you are required by Apple to have a payment method registered in your account, it must always be functioning, it has to have funds that can be used. If it's a credit card, there has to be available credit. If it's a debit card, it has to be funded, or if it's tied to a bank account, the account has to have available funds. The system always verifies that the payment method is functioning. If it isn't functioning, you can't use the account.
You won't know what the issue is until you have added a functioning payment method to your account.

It sounds like the game is treating your redownload as a new purchase. This would be correct if you truly deleted the game earlier. If that is their policy then there is nothing Apple can do about it. You should probably contact the game developer for assistance.
