The first law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only changed from 1 form to another. But then how does energy exist if it cannot be created.

The first law of thermodynamics is often called the Law of Conservation of Energy. This law suggests that energy can be transferred from one system to another in many forms. However, it can not be created nor destroyed. Thus, the total amount of energy available in the Universe is constant. Einstein's famous equation (written below) describes the relationship between energy and matter:
E = MC2
In the equation above, energy (E) is equal to matter (M) times the square of a constant (C). Einstein suggested that energy and matter are interchangeable. His equation also suggests that the quantity of energy and matter in the Universe is fixed.
created means: made to exist
you're

yes, but the law also states that "enery cannot be created or destroyed, only changed from one form into another. But then how does energy exist if it cannot be created.
