At your rating, openings are the last thing you should be working on.
Can I make a new chess account for practicing openings?

The OP is not anywhere near high rated enough to be wasting time on openings. All they need for now are opening principles. They lost to a 464 player in 18 moves:

Hey, I know it is considered cheating. But, I was not going to use it for getting more tactics per day or other premium stuff. Anyways, I think chess.com will not be able to figure if we're actually making multiple accounts for cheating or for genuine reasons so it's not allowed. I think I'll probably stick to this one only. I know openings should be studied at a higher level, but there is some stuff that keeps on repeating like bishop pins in the early opening, best way to get rid of them and stuff like that analyzing that helps me a lot as I'm able to play without much mistakes, so I don't think I will stop analyzing my openings and trying new stuff.

You could post a game with examples of what youre trying to learn, instaed of creating another acocunt. Another key to improvement is NOT worrying about the rating. Thirdly...as i have posted. Youre no where near rated high enough to be wasting time on openings, but obviously that is up to you.
" I think chess.com will not be able to figure if we're actually making multiple accounts for cheating". REALLY? 
Well they'll certainly keep their eye on you for that one
LOL.

In short, No. It's disallowed by the Terms of Service (https://www.chess.com/legal) to which you agreed to abide when you joined and which plainly states:
Only One Account
Members may only have ONE Chess.com account. Members who create more than one account may have all accounts closed.

It's really funny, but relax, I was just pointing out bro.
+1 on not worrying about your rating. Who cares about your rating? You care about improvement. So play. Study. Learn. Improve. Your rating will take care of itself as your skill builds.
Play the new openings in a time control where your rating matters less to you.

I think that's what I'll do.

True, but to a much easier way of explaining things. You dont teach someone how the pieces move, and then teach them the Sicilian. You teach them Opening Principles.

Thanks for taking time for going through my games, but you're forgetting one thing Sherlock, it was a 5 minute blitz game and I'm a 500 rated in blitz, does that give you a clue? Let me tell you one more thing, in rapid I'm at 900 waiting to be 1000 so maybe I can't play under time pressure and beginners can blunder a lot in blitz. And I think I'll try to get an idea of different openings, thanks for your advice but I don't think intermediate players have the right to give any advice.

I have found that learning openings frequently played help to 1) present games with useful positions to study 2) introduce fundamental tactical decisions and 3) remember chess moves in groups which is what you need to do later in the game to calculate moves
If you play white, play the same opening many times against stronger players to see where you mess up. Then go over the games and don't just move on to the next game. If you are black, take note of what opening is being played. c4 might not be a good opening to study as white to start with, but if you are black and someone plays it you need to play something against it.
I'm working hard on the 1 and 3, using tactics trainer for 2 but I think it will come naturally if I practice consistently.

Its your play, youre free to do what you want. As long as youre having fun, that is what counts.

I don't want my ratings to fluctuate, but every time I try a new line that I'm not comfortable with, I seem to blunder very badly, I've been trying to play evans gambit and italian games, but seems that I will not be able to use new lines as I will have to lose a couple of times to get the main ideas. Can't play unrated games, as I have tried to play but it keeps on searching for over 10 minutes and I can't wait for that much as I am a little busy right now, and even after waiting still no guarantee that I may found a match or not. So, for practising my openings, is it okay to make another account for that
P.S I can't play with the engine as engine makes the perfect moves which goes over the top of my head. And usually, players at my level almost never make the same moves which means I'm at an advantage since they didn't played out their best moves but I'm at a low level so I can't exploit their weaknesses if I try to practice with computers. So, have to play with the real players.
