Gta endlessly loading 2023

So I have been having an issue with GTA 5. I have recently gotten a Xbox series X but I want to play gta with my friends on older consoles. I have the old version of the game and I can not load into the game when I should be able to. I am on an endless loading screen waiting for online or story but neither will load. Does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it. I really want to play with my friends on gta!
