Your money is not stuck.

As far as i understood, you created a segwit wallet (bc1.. address), received funds to it.. and later created a legacy or nested-segwit wallet (1... or 3... addresses) with the same mnemonic code.

You obviously can only access your funds from the native segwit wallet (address starting with bc1.. ).

What exactly is the problem ?
If you open your wallet, do you see your bc1.. address and the received funds ? Or does it show 0 balance ? Is your wallet synced (green dot at the bottom right corner) ?
You should be able to simply send your funds using your bc1.. wallet. Did you already try that? If so, what didn't work ?



I have Updated to Electrum Wallet Version 3.3.8 by the way or whatever the Newest Version is in hopes that it would fix my horrible issue as the Segwit and or Legacy Wallet does not seem to be allowing Me to Send the Bitcoin from the Segwit Wallet to Legacy Wallet or the Wallet that has my Bitcoin will literally not be Accepted by ANYONE'S WALLET why is that!?

You can always send your funds to any other address, regardless of which address type you are using.
Your BTC will be accepted by every other wallet.

The only 'problem' is that you might not use your bc1.. address in some websites (e.g. use as withdrawal address).
This is not a problem of the BTC network, but the websites are simply outdated. They see that the address doesn't start with 1.. or 3.. and say 'invalid address'. They simply havn't been updated for years.
