I have a Play console account and a developer created an app and I uploaded in it. Now the developer asking huge amount for update the app. So I created another app with the same app name and different package name. Can I upload the app in play console? Can anyone give a solution for it?

YES.
The app generic name can be the same of other app available on the store, to only, the only important thing is that the application id (package name). is unique, the one defined in your AndroidManifest.xml.

Check Best practices for private apps

Your app's package name must be globally unique in Google Play (not just unique within your enterprise or Google Play Developer account). If your package name is the same as a package name already in Google Play, then recompile your app with a different package name.
