I would put the other crank back on with the pin, then turn the chainwheel side, it should break free. Maybe a couple gentle taps.@Wildcat was right….. the cotter pins tapped right out of the proper rat rod:
The crank arms…. Not so much

No you can't the cotters on the green bike are the right onesI do have a question here…. A couple maybe; ( @ingola )
First is there anyway to separate the crank arm from the chainring or are they pressed together and 1 piece?

The very definition of Dad Bike!
All the headset bearings are uncaged - I had fortunately done some research and when i did the fork swap, I had shallow boxes placed underneath each bike to catch the BBs as they fell and put top and bottom BBs in separate bags for the rebuild.Those chainwheels are fixed to the crank arm for good. If I remember, there are 12 ball bearings loose in each cup of the BB. That's why I keep one of these in the toolbox:
