I stopped messages from being forwarded to Outlook from a POP3 account. Is
there a way to move all of the emails currently in my Outlook inbox back to
my internet email inbox (without forwarding each one)?

You cannot forward to an e-mail client. You can only foward to a mail
server; i.e., you can forward to an account (not some program running
sporadically on an end-user's host).

My best guess at what you really meant to say is that you deleted an
e-mail account defined in Outlook so that Outlook would no longer poll
that account for new mails which results in yanking them off the mail
server (although you can configure Outlook to yank the new mail but
still leave a copy up in your mailbox).

In Outlook, forward those e-mails back to your webmail account. You
want to get the mails moved from your local host to the webmail server
so that means you will have to send them from your local host to your
webmail account. If you don't like the result of forwarding all those
local mails (because you'll see them as forwarded mails in your
webmail account rather than as original deliveries, or having to
individually forward thousands of local mails), you could start
composing a new mail and then drag all those old mails into the new
one which will make them attachments in the new mail. Then you would
have a single mail in your webmail account that had all your old mails
as attachments. Of course, that makes it harder to access each of
those old mails plus you could end up generating a new mail with all
those attachments that is too large for your e-mail provider (most
have a quota on the maximum size of an e-mail).
