I am using High Sierra Version 10.13.6.

Problem solved! I took your advice, Rich and called Apple Tech Support. The person helping me was excellent and all I had to do was reinstall iMovie.

He had me trash my current version of iMovie. He assured me all my projects would be saved. And they were.

After that I went to the App Store and downloaded the most compatible version of iMovie for my operating software and voila!

My projects were saved and I was able to export my movie successfully.

Happiness!
