I have an old Imac 27 from 2011 and I cant download the latest version of Indesign. I understand that I need to go to Creative clouds and click on the three dots and choose "other version" but I dont have that option. I only have "more info". Whats wrong, why can't I download an older version?

Only the current version and most recent past version are available. That is a very old machine but you should be able to get it updated to a reasably recent version of Mac OS are decent. But even then you're going to be limited with an 11 year old processor and a lack of RAM.

You can check with Apple Support whether you can Upgrade to Mac OS High Seirra.
Better to plan Upgrade with Apple Support advise and based on other apps installed on iMac and its compatibility for newer version Mac OS

I dont think iMac 2011 can go beyond , High Seirra. Even for Mojave , its requires iMac 2012 or newer Hardware

Adobe assumes you have modern equipment and operating system, no more than 2 versions back.
Most Creative Cloud apps are built to work on:
Windows 11, Windows 10 versions 21H1, 20H2, 2004, and 1909 (LTSB branches are not supported);
macOS 12 (Monterey), macOS 11 (Big Sur), macOS 10.16 or 10.15 (Catalina)

My point is start saving now for a new computer. You will need one soon.
Adobe can remove old installers anytime without notice.
High Sierra is too old. There are 4 Mac versions since High Sierra: Mojave, Catalina, Big Sur and Monterey. And Apple will likely release another OS this coming September.
Maybe next time buy a new Windows PC instead of a Mac. 😉
