Question

I have £20,000 worth of shares I want to sell anyway to pay less tax when selling i

A bed and isa into a flexible ISA?

Also 

I have a flexible ISA and had shared which I sold and removed the cash so my allowance on my flexible ISA is £20,000

Can I open a non flexible ISA with dorrent broker and buy a fund?

    You can’t transfers share directly into an ISA. The only tax that may be applicable is CGT, how much did you pay for them originally?

    Your post is hard to understand but if these shares are currently in a GIA a bed and Isa won't make any difference to the capital gain calculation of a sale. It'll only mean that when you sell the shares/fund you buy in the Isa you won't need to pay any CGT.
