Hi

By the way, if you want to keep your text editable, you can create it in Illustrator.

Illustrator allows you to add a custom stroke to live text (and soooo much more).

Then place (NOT paste) your illustrator file into Indesign and edit it if you want to modify it.

There are two ways to outline a letter. You selected the text. Instead, select the frame around the letter A with the Selection tool and choose Type > Create Outlines. Then you can do it.
