Just answering that question.

Always better if you post a full screenshot, including the toolbox and tool options. From your screenshot.

1. There is an active selection. Kill this selection Select -> None
2. The active layer is the top (transparent) layer. You want to select something from the picture layer. Make that layer active. (click on it in the layers dialogue)
3. It looks like you want an elliptical selection, use that tool and draw around the required area.
4. That only marks an area of pixels, if you want to copy that then Edit -> Copy
5. You want that in the transparent layer, make the transparent layer active.
6. Paste that in Edit -> Paste which give a strange temporary pasted layer. You can move this around to where you want it.
7. When in position use Layer -> Anchor Layer and that fixes the selection in the transparent layer.

Not asked but to remove the white background from the selection use `Colors -> Color-to-Alpha and adjust the sliders to suit.

this a 50 second animation of all that: https://i.imgur.com/QitDnWP.mp4
