I did some reading on here and got electrum and imported my keys into it thinking somehow I could solve the problem there but it seems to have the same issue. It shows as pending in there. I have heard you can do a double spend with a higher fee but electrum won't let me spend them it says not enough funds.

I've used Bitcoin Core in the past to create a double spend, but that means a 150 GB download if you don't have it installed.
User Thirdspace wrote instructions here on how to double spend using coinb.in. He wrote this for that specific thread, so you'll need to create your own transaction and can't use the one he has in Code-tags. This can be tricky though, so make sure you know what you're doing before entering any private keys on a website!

If you're not in a hurry, you can just wait until the transaction is dropped and Electrum allows you to make a new transaction.

But: current recommended fee is 559 satoshi/byte for a fast transaction. For a 15,231 bytes transaction that's 0.085BTC, more than halve of your total. You can probably go a lot lower than the amount recommended for a fast transaction, but it can take a while to confirm.

Thanks.

Not in any hurry. If I could just even get it back to my blockchain wallet that would be fine until the fees settle down. No need for the funds right now or any time soon.

How long does that take? It has been 21 days and the block trail thing shows it removed /expired.
