My headset's microphone broke. So, on Windows 10 I used the Bang & Olufsen drivers for my Omen HP 15-ax033dx laptop to enable "multistreaming" which enables the ability to use both the internal and (broken) headset mics at the same time. Is there anyway to do this on Ubuntu (More specifically Neon KDE) and or install the Windows 10 HP audio drivers?

You can choose different devices for input and output. Open PulseAudio Volume Control or click on the sound icon on your taskbar and then on sound settings.
With the control window open, go on Output Devices tab and make sure the headphones are selected. Then go to the Input Devices tab and select the desired device with the drop down selection menu next to "Port". The laptop microphone will likely be called "Internal Microphone".

When I plug in the headphones it tells me that the internal mic is "unplugged" but works when the headphones aren't plugged in.

Even if marked as "unplugged", did you select it and test? It will mark as unplugged by default, but will continue to work without a problem. Set the volume (the top bar) up and see if the bottom bar moves at all. Any indication on the bottom bar means it is picking up audio. And make sure it is not muted (the speaker icon next to the lock). Play with the buttons.

I see a very very very small movement when tapping on the mic.

It means it is working. You can increase the microphone volume up to 150%, which will make things better. Play with the sliders and make a 'real life' test. Try recording yourself with audacity and listen to the recording. But the audio is being picked by the internal microphone. Also note that some programs, like Mumble, can choose the microphone device independently, so make sure the correct one is chosen. Make sure to choose the answer so the "unanswered section" doesn't get clogged.

It was actually just static nothing is being picked up only if my mic is unplugged it works (but is over modulated and EXTREMELY loud even when turning it down it sounds absolutely terrible.)
