To complete and file a 2023 tax return using TurboTax you would need to purchase, download and install on a personal computer one of the 2023 desktop editions from this website - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/
A 2023 tax return can only be printed and mailed, it cannot be e-filed using TurboTax.
You will have to amend the 2024 tax return that you filed so that it only has tax information entered for tax year 2024.
See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a current year tax return - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/amend-federal-tax-return-curr...
You can't change the year. You have to start your 2023 tax return over from scratch in the 2023 software. Separately, as DoninGA said, you have to file an amended return for 2024 to remove the 2023 information that you entered and include only 2024 information.
The tag below your question says that you are using TurboTax Free Edition. There is no free filing for past years.

https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products
You will need a full Windows or Mac to install it on.
If you have a simple return and want to file for free you can fill out the forms by hand. Here are some basic forms…..
Here is the IRS 2023 Form 1040
https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040--2023.pdf
or if you want bigger type use 1040SR for Seniors,
https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040s--2023.pdf
And 2023 Instructions
https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/i1040gi--2023.pdf
2023 Tax and EIC Tables
https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/i1040tt--2023.pdf
Sch 1 : https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040s1--2023.pdf
Sch 2 : https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040s2--2023.pdf
Sch 3 : https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040s3--2023.pdf
Then when you do file 2024 enter 0 for the 2023 AGI since you are filing 2023 late.
You have to print and mail prior year returns. When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s. Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS received the return. Don’t forget state.
Important! Mail Federal and State in separate envelopes and mail each year in separate envelopes.
