Generally speaking, no you cannot change Linux distributions.

It is possible to move from one flavor of distro to another, like from Kubuntu to Ubuntu, Ubuntu Mate, Ubuntu Cinnamon, etc.

It might be possible to resize your current install and then install Parrot Linux in the free space. Then you could mount your old partitions and/or volumes.

However, it will be far easier to simply back up your data and install Parrot Linux from scratch. Then restore your data back to the new OS.

Sorry, Linux is flexible but not that flexible.
If you want to mix distributions you want Bedrock Linux

Yes you can change from one Linux distro to another 1st you need complete knowledge of Linux and it's all root files 2nd will loose your bootloader to recover it you gonna need a usb bootable ready Linux

Conclusion it will cost your time without usb drive it's not possible cause it's easy to loose bootloader Before doing it live it would be better if you try it in virtual box
