I want two game worlds. a 3d world and a 2d world. when the character moves 5 ft in the 3d world I want the character to be moving that same 5ft in the 2d world. I want the player to be able to freely choose between the 2d world and the 3d world.  Would coding a game like that be extremely advanced for a new programmer like myself or would the solution be as simple as having the 2d world float physically above the 3d world and having a button to change your camera view thus changing  which world the players are playing in?

I would say it is not practical to have two separate worlds, because they will inevitably desynchronize over time as numerical errors add up.

On the other hand, it is completely normal to switch between views of the same world, and have different control schemes for each.
