for the past few weeks when I type the word "we" it is automatically changed to "Ww" every time I type we. I called apple care but the woman didn’t know how to correct it. I’d appreciate clear instructions bc I’m 75 and marginally good at understanding how to correct things, thanks.

The green-circled reset you meet first, then tap the red-circled Reset Keyboard Dictionary button in the popup:
The keyboard dictionary can lose the plan as typos accumulate and with whatever other gremlins get incorporated, and a keyboard dictionary reset once or even several times a year can be helpful.
Correcting the typos has (at least lately) can steer away from and reduce the proffered mistakes, but that can take a while.
Resetting the keyboard dictionary removes all the local (mis)spelling adaptions, whether correct or otherwise.
Yeah, the wording of those reset controls always makes me extra cautious around which buttons I press when in the reset section, too. The wording just makes me think about my own iPad backups each time I’m in that section of Settings.
And I don’t run with autocorrupt enabled. Settings > General > Keyboard > Auto-corrupt, err, Auto-correct > Off
One thing you might do is to go to Text Replacements and have it change ww to we. You would go to System Settings and type Text Replacement into the search field. I use this to change pictuers to pictures and PHtos to Photos. I either type badly or I spell badly. Luckily, it fixes either.
I tried adding ww and it automatically change ww to we, and it leaves were alone.
Check and see if we was already entered, changing it to ww!
It made typing the wrong spellings really hard for this post-- it keeps changing them…
Autocorrect automatically changes "we" to "Ww
