Help with save file, physical vs digital confusion

My brother and I had our systems linked but he recently linked his switch to a friend of his temporarily. Base game was on his account so I was locked out of playing the game digitally. Luckily (I thought), I had bought a physical version of the game just to have it since I l8ke it so much, so I decided to use it and play the game.

To my surprise, it is treating the physical version as an entirely different game. I am scared of creating a new save file (the digital version save has a 999 character with 2k+ hours as shown in the video).

Should I refrain from creating a new save file in the physical game? Has this happened to any of you? Is my digital version save file safe?

I am so confused.
