Always better to give a whole screenshot of the Gimp interface if you can, saves guessing.
My guess is: ref screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/4WA9cbU.jpg
You made a selection in order to paint in some of the text (1)
Then you moved what was a text layer, now a regular layer to a new position. leaving the selection behind.(2)
The solution is easy, Select -> None to turn off the selection.(3)
Everyone does this as beginners, there are better ways.
