So, are the bitcoins in Lobstr wallet even real? I just got 0.03 BTC, but I can’t trade it or do anything except send it somewhere else.

You don't just get 0.03BTC for doing nothing. If something is too good to be true, that's cause it isn't true.
If you want to hold bitcoins I'll recommend electrum wallet, it's easy to use and non custodian.
No I mean I did a trade, but I can see I can't swap it now?
It was quick test amount before doing a larger swap

Do you have any seedphrase you can use to recover the wallet?
I've never used this wallet before and what is available on blockexplorers is a stellar transaction and not Bitcoin. You may want to just double check everything.
The ratings I'm seeing online for lobstr wallet are not good at all, I'll recommend you get in touch with their support team.

you are stupid or a con artist.
you are willing to drop around $2000 as a test move.
for all intents and purposes you have been scammed or are a scammer.

I don't know Lobstr wallet, but your screenshot shows Steller Lumens. That's not Bitcoin. Someone may have created a BS token and called it BTC, but that doesn't make it Bitcoin. You can only receive Bitcoin on a Bitcoin address, which you can for instance create in Electrum. What you're doing has nothing to do with Bitcoin, and chances are someone is trying to scam you if they sent you something that isn't Bitcoin.

Only one of those 2 statements can be true.
Its better you stay off something like this before it turns to what you cannot accommodate any longer, you're testing what you're not sure about, if you're receiving a testnet bitcoin, which is mbtc, that is a different case, don't use your real money on what you're not sure about, don't trade or swap with someone that will require you of going through this process, its most likely a way to scam you, just be wise and cautioned.
