Hi Michael Alpert I want to help you with this question.
That looks like you have some characters in front of the command. Because of that, the system can't recognize the command. Please remove the brackets and circumflex (^). The "az vm create..." must be placed directly at the $ sign.
If the problem is solved for you and all questions are answered, I would be happy if you mark the answer as accepted to close the thread.

The addition of the ^[[200~ characters prior to the first command is what is causing this error, and that in turn is caused by bracketed paste mode. I tend to use right click to paste as a quick workaround but there are several good write ups on how to address this:
An example of bracketed paste mode:
