I cannot open text files I created on Word before I upgraded my MacBook. Is does no good to put .docx after the title. The newer Macs came with Pages. Is that why?

How to open a DOCX file on a Mac?
If they have that icon you describe, then the file extension is missing and it doesn’t know what type of file it is.If adding the extension doesn’t work, try opening word and then use file open to see if you can open the files.
Pages has nothing to do with MS Word. Perhaps you have an outdated Word app (or Office). What version are you running?
I no longer have Word. It didn't recognize my program on the new machine.

If outdated is not the issue...
Ask this is in Microsoft's Forums: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com. Being you are using Word, and not a Pages here, you'll likely get the answer you need there.
My old files are a greenish square with exec below them.
