There's a lot wrong with your code...

$profiles= Profile::where('id', $id)->get();

You're querying based on id, which should return a single row, but you're calling ->get() which returns a Collection... That's pointless.

$profiless= Profile::findorFail($id);

This is more correct, but that variable name is really bad.

@foreach($profiless as $key => $profiles)

You're looping over a single Model instance, which would make $key and $profiles both strings; you don't need this foreach at all. Additionally, you're overwriting the $profiles variable you're passing from the Controller via compact('profiles','profiless'));

Let's fix your code.

$id = auth()->guard('artist')->user()->id;
$profile = Profile::where('user_id', $id)->first();
// I assume `Profile` has a `user_id` column, you'd want to reference this instead of `id`

return view('artists.profile_edit', compact('profile');

profile_edit.blade.php:

<div class="col-md-6">
  <input type="text" class="form-control mb-3 {{ $errors->has('social_media_channel_name') ? 'is-invalid' : '' }}" name="social_media_channel_name[]" value="{{ $profile->social_media_channel_name }}" placeholder="Social Media Channel Name">
</div>

@if($errors->has('social_media_channel_name'))
  <div class="invalid-feedback">
    {{ $errors->first('social_media_channel_name') }}
  </div>
@endif

<div class="col-md-6">
  <input type="text" class="form-control mb-3 {{ $errors->has('social_media_channel_link') ? 'is-invalid' : '' }}" name="social_media_channel_link[]" value="{{ $profile->social_media_channel_link }}" placeholder="Social Media Channel Link">
</div>

@if($errors->has('social_media_channel_link'))
  <div class="invalid-feedback">
    {{ $errors->first('social_media_channel_link') }}
  </div>
@endif

If a User can have multiple Profiles, then you can do:

$id = auth()->guard('artist')->user()->id;
$profiles = Profile::where('user_id', $id)->get();
return view('artists.profile_edit', compact('profiles');

And include the loop in your view:

@foreach($profiles as $profile)
  // The rest of the code would be the same
@endforeach
