I have attempted to import what I thought were two images from an old Wordperfect document. What I have ended up with appears to be item one of which when I look at the properties and then options is names Image1 Copy 1. The second one Properties Options has a description of OLE Object. This means that I can not rotate this item. How do I change the second item such that I am allowed to rotate it.
LO 7.6.41. OS Windows 10
How do you expect anyone to help you? We have no technical idea about the nature of the second object. You didn’t even name your OS, LO version and present save format.
So, please, edit your question (= modify it; the pencil tool/icon is hidden under the … button) to mention the required details. Also attach the old WP document. You can do that by adding extension .odt at the end of the name so that AskLO site engine sees it as a native file.
EDIT:
Looking at the contents of your attached file, it appears the first image (Image1 Copy 1) is an SVG graphics which has been internally processed and saved inside the document. A PNG cached graphics is also stored for quick display.
The second image Image Backwards Chicken is also an SVG but in OLE form. As far as I know, OLE objects can only be edited by their native application (or at least one capable of it). There is also some form of a cached image but its type is not given. This is this cached image you see in the document.
Final remark:
You anchored your images To page. In 99% of the cases, this is faulty because the images will be locked onto a physical page (here, page 1) no matter what edit you apply to your document. Usually, you want your images to move with some paragraph. Anchorint To paragraph does not prevent you from placing the image anywhere in the page. Anchor and location are nearly independent from each other. And choosing judiciously a wrap mode eliminates the need of adding empty paragraphs to create an empty space for your image.
I can extract the image is by opening the odt in a zip programme and copying the Object 1 to a folder. As the content.xml says it is an svg I appended .svg to the filename. After that I could drag it into Writer and rotate it.
The simplest way is to export the page to pdf, lossless compression, no reduction of resolution. Open the pdf from LibreOffice, it will open in Draw. Select the Backwards facing chicken image and copy into Writer. Or click File > Export, tick the box Selection and select Save as SVG. Insert the svg into Writer and rotate
This is the file with the two items which I have imported. One rotatable one not.

Thank You - seems a round about way of doing it, however it worked.
