That's called pawn promotion. It's completely legal. You can read about it here~

I’m not sure why real life has anything to do with anything. In real life, castles don’t actually move, bishops stay in their cathedrals, and queens don’t roam the battlefield.
Now, which queen was the promoted queen?

The promoted queen could be an eventual successor of the existing queen as a replacement when the current queen retires. Perhaps?

Honestly, it’s much more probable that a king have more than one queen than a soldier has a sex change operation and becomes a queen by simply taking a trip behind enemy lines. Also, I would really like to see a castle, an actual castle, moving faster than a horse.
Though there was Howl’s Moving Castle.

It might be in the rules that's my bad but in real life when you are playing you cannot promote a pawn to queen because there is not one available if you still have yours on the board ....

Contrary to some belief, yes you can have more than one queen of the same colour on the board. In fact, you could even promote a pawn to a knight, rook or bishop! And if somehow you manage to promote all the pawns, you get up to nine queens, ten knights, ten rooks or ten bishops!
For the most common case involving queens, where many chess sets do not come with additional queens (some newer ones include one just in the case of a promotion), I represent a promoted queen by an inverted rook or a double-pawn, provided that one rook or two pawns of mine have been previously captured

This is possible in over the board chess. Most chess sets will come with an extra queen if you ever get another queen. If you have more than 2 queens, then an upside down rook is placed.

This is in rule 3.7.3.3 in section E of the FIDE Handbook. https://handbook.fide.com/chapter/E012023
