Where do I set up a new sub domain to forward?

Do I set up a new subdomain here on cloudflare or on go daddy where I purchased the domain?

How do I take my existing sub domain (which I cannot even locate on here) and forward to a new website ?

If your nameservers on Godaddy are set to Cloudlare ones (of the form name.ns.cloudflare.com) then you can set up redirects on Cloudflare. Add the subdomain to the DNS if it isn’t already there (use A 192.0.2.1 or AAAA 100:: as dummy entries if the subdomain is just for redirection) and then set up redirections in the redirect rules…

Okay. It appears that they are in Cloudflare because GD is not showing it. I cannot locate where the existing one is on Cloudflare however. When I click on that first link I get redirected to the list however I cannot locate the subdomain, [booking… I only see the the main domain. Please advise?

Can you give the domain (and subdomain) names?

yes…

riversandsteel. com

booking.riversandsteel. com

The redirect from 'booking.riversandsteel.com` appears to be done on your origin. If you do a new redirect on Cloudflare, then it will happen before this one can do and so override it.
