I got Minecraft about a week ago. Around two or three days ago, I created a new flatland world in creative mode, named "New World." I turned mob spawners off and turned cheats and commands on because I just wanted to experiment a little bit. However, I noticed that bats and chickens were spawning everywhere. Even a wandering trader and his llamas somehow spawned. I didn't really care because they didn't really do anything. Yesterday I made a pool next to my house and tried using commands to fill it up, but the water spawned somewhere else near my house. I tried again using the exact same coordinates and command (/fill 119 ~ 10 ~ 86 160 ~ 10 ~ 127 water replace air) but the water spawned next to the previous block of water. I kept trying using the same exact command and coordinates, but I now have four large blocks of water in a cluster near my house, and no water at all in my pool. I may be new to Minecraft, but I know that if I was doing it wrong, the water should at least spawn in the same spot. I could not find anything about this on the internet.

Using tildes ( ~ ) in commands causes the coordinates to reference the player's coordinates. That means that running /fill commands with tildes in the coordinates will place the blocks in a different place depending on where the player running the command is standing.
This command:
/fill 119 ~10 ~86 160 ~10 ~127 water replace airwill fill the area from x: 119 to 160 between 86 and 127 blocks east of the player and exactly 10 blocks above the player's head with water.
If you are meaning to fill the area with corners at (119, 10, 86) and (160, 10, 127) with water, the correct command is:
/fill 119 10 86 160 10 127 water replace air
