I make transaction from my wallet - send BTC. After I send BTC, I increase transaction fee three times, in a few minutes. After this in block explorer I see that this transaction had an attempted double-spent. I use Bitcoin Core version v0.18.1 (64-bit)

What can do in my case? Thanks in advance.

It could just be the block explorer presenting a misleading message. Increasing transaction fee is not a double spend, but it could be misinterpreted by the block explorer as such.

Which block explorer do you use? What is the exact message? I agree with @tylerchambers, this is very likely unrelated to Bitcoin Core. It's an issue on the block explorer side. blockchain.com, for example, shows this message for transactions that have been replaced:

Transaction invalid: some outputs that it attempts to spend have been already spent or are no longer valid.

This appears to be a third-party block explorer issue and not addressable by Bitcoin Core. Closing.
