Please help me!

The network configuration format was changed in the OpenWrt development snapshots, and also in OpenWrt 21.02.0 release candidate 2 and later:

Your access point is using the new format, while your main router is still using the old one.

With the new format, a bridge device can be created in LuCI this way:
Network -> Interfaces -> "Devices" tab -> Add device configuration -> "General device options" tab -> Device type: "Bridge device"

In a second step, you can create a new interface, referring to the bridge device just created.
