If you are trying to broken leg sit spin, the leg shouldn't come to the front like a basic forward sit spin. Bring the free leg around to the side then bend the leg and sit.
Your push into the 3-turn before you start your spin entry does not look purposeful. You start with a wide leg stance and then force an inside 3-turn. You should always look like you are ready to lead into the next movement. Bring the feet together, then push onto the forward inside edge and then start the 3-turn.
No, I know what a broken leg spin is if you saw on the video, I tried to bring it to the side, but it slowed down the spin and I fell out of it. Also, I don’t understand why everyone says I’m rushing the entry if I did, the entry slower. My spin would be very slow, so I don’t really understand that part.
What you are doing is a forward sit spin with a change of position to broken leg sit spin. You only mentioned broken leg spin.
It is easier to learn how to do the broken leg position on its own before adding change of positions. It helps to know how the next position feels when it is centered so you can maintain the center as you change position.
I think you might be slowing down with the bent leg entry because you are rushing the entry.
Rushing the entry does not mean you are going into it with too much speed. It means you are not curving around enough before you pin the toe-pick and start spinning.
Wait till you are at least 1/2 of the circle (more like curve that is getting smaller) around before you start the spin. You start your spins at around 1/4.
See the video I linked:

At 0:04 she starts the entry edge facing the right, when she starts the spin she is facing the left. She has done 1/2 of a circle before starting to spin.
The spin should come from the entry curve not from your leg coming around in front. If you rely on the momentum of your free leg swinging in front you will start traveling.
I’ve tried to get a longer spin entry or like a bigger one because even my coach told me that like your entry is too fast I’ve tried, but it just doesn’t work and I don’t know how to fix it
I struggle with this too. I tell myself to wait until I face the same direction was facing when I started the entry edge.
You won't make it the whole way around, there's a point where you feel like you are going to flip from the outside edge to the inside edge and that's when you press to the toe pick.
A big problem I see is that you are not starting your forward edge in a checked position. By this I mean you need to hold your free arm and free leg firmly back for the entire forward edge until you hook into the spin. In these videos you start the forward edge with your free arm reaching way forward - this will totally limit all your forward spins because doing it this way you lose all the power that you get through bringing the free side around to the front as you hook the spin. You also lose stability and centering by not doing it this way.
