Don't use Coinbase but if you can access the wallet, there shouldn't be a reason why you cant access the keys of it.
I just created a coinbase wallet that is connected to it and it gave me the private keys
The wallet allows you to export anything resembling the following
"Recovery Phrase"
"Secret Key"
"Private Key"
"Seed"
if so, export it (DO NOT SHARE WITH ANYONE) and export it to an wallet like metamask instead.
Does your wallet look something like this?

my father's out of city for 1 week so I can't access his phone anymore to check all of these, but when he gets back I'll check and let you know.
But from what I remember everything is pretty much the same, except for a few minor differences, like for example the fonts in which the tooltips / errors are displayed are brutalist, very hard to read (they're basically black fonts with darkish grey, bolded outline and on black background. Makes them really hard to read, even with glasses on (well, I always wear glasses so no shock here) I still have to squirm and stare for 5-10 seconds in order to figure out the words lol
Another difference (which actually worries me) is that - after having PM'd with another forum member (whom I shall not name for privacy reasons, of course) - for the entire day yesterday, he told me that the app my father's using could be scam because the outer blue circle (of the icon of the Coinbase wallet app) is not a perfect circle like in your screenshot, but rather an almost perfect circle.... actually, here's a screenshot that I took yesterday to show to the other person:
As you can see. the icon of the Wallet app is not exactly like the one in your image, very easy to scam newbies with and my father is even more newbie than me and I am the newbiest newbie that's ever existed.... well, you get the idea
Anyway, the 3rd thing that makes me wonder whether our wallet is legit and whether we actually have that USDT inside of it is the fact that our main currency (RON since we are Romanians) shows 0, which would not be a problem since we probably don't have RON deposited in there (if that's even possible), but the thing that raises suspicions is that the USDT shows up beneath the main currency instead of being displayed as the main currency. And - as usual - the USDT is displayed in the same bolded, brutalist, hard to read font as well. Luckily, numbers are easier to read, especially since the font is bigger than the font of tooltips / errors, so I could see the amount of USDT, but like I said, it's not displayed in the spotlight like in your screenshot, but rather beneath the spotlight, in lower fonts, while the spotlight is taken by the main currency... or maybe it's not the main currency.... actually, wait, I might be wrong! I think it does say USDT both in the main spot as well as beneath the main spot, but the main spot is used to type the amount of USDT you wish to handle.... yeah, that's actually what it looks like. I still have to double check when I get my hands on his phone again, but I am like 95% sure that this is how it looks like.
So yeah, based on these 3 differences I have a suspicion that the person who had gotten father into this had used a fake / scammy / replica wallet that is similar to the real one enough to fool newbies. I could still be wrong (and I hope that I am because we really want to get that money out), but for now this is where I stand....
Plus the fact that when I tried to connect the wallet to Coinbase website (as instructed by the app when I tried to either swap or buy a different crypto) I was only presented with an email field so I could log in, but there was no way (at least I don't remember) to create a new account. Maybe I'm too paranoid but shouldn't all login pages also have a button / link for creating new account? I don't know, maybe I'm reading too much into this, but like I said, after having chatted with the other person yesterday I got paranoid
if so, export it (DO NOT SHARE WITH ANYONE) and export it to an wallet like metamask instead.
oh yea, I do remember to having created a Metamask wallet many moons ago... I wonder what's happened to it, or if I still have it... Good tip, I'll have to dig up into my saved files to see where I've saved the password / keys / whatever for that thing...
But the question still remains I think: how can I transfer to Metamask if any option that I choose (swap, buy, send) ends up in either an error or in a non-interactable message?? Like, for example, I tried yesterday to send this money to somewhere else but after I had selected the amount that I wanted to send (I chose any amount between 1 USDT and 250 USDT, randomly and multiple times and none worked) and I clicked on "next" I either got prompted with a message like "there is not enough eligibility for this asset pair. Please try again later", or "you need RON 0.10 in BNB on BNB (Binance Smart) Chain to cover the network fees".
I would get these 2 messages (one of them when I tried to swap the USDT into a different crypto and the other one when I wanted to send the crypto to somewhere else) but - like I said - I couldn't do anything else after I was showed these errors, simply because there was no button or other interactable elements to... well... interact with
I would have happily paid the measly RON 0.10 fees, but there simply was no way to pay them because there was no button anywhere, once I got any of those 2 error messages it was dead end....
But of course that I could receive money into the wallet (or at least I think it went into the wallet because otherwise I've not seen that money deposited in there, I only received the notification that the transaction was successful and that's all of the evidence that I have that the money was sent. But where it's deposited I don't know cause I've not seen any BNB / RON amount inside of that wallet...
