The LookupRows function will return an array if a rowset is found. So your check condition was wrong. You can read the examples of the function to understand.

Try this:

var idRows = Platform.Function.LookupRows('IDE_Form_Data','IDE_Form_Data_Key',IDE_Form_Data_Key);
            if(idRows && idRows.length > 0) {
              Platform.Function.UpdateData("IDE_Form_Data",["IDE_Form_Data_Key"],[IDE_Form_Data_Key],["Fieldvalue_txt_1", "Form_Phone_Num", "Subscriber_Key", "Form_Id", "Form_Name", "Form_Type", "Fieldname_txt_1", "Journey_Desc", "Form_Insert_Date"],[Fieldvalue_txt_1,Form_Phone_Num,Subscriber_Key,Form_Id,Form_Name,Form_Type,Fieldname_txt_1,Journey_Desc,DateTime.SystemDateToLocalDate(Now())]);
              Platform.Response.Redirect("https://youalreadysignedinpage", false);
            } else {
              Platform.Function.InsertDE("IDE_Form_Data",["IDE_Form_Data_Key", "Fieldvalue_txt_1", "Form_Phone_Num", "Subscriber_Key", "Form_Id", "Form_Name", "Form_Type", "Fieldname_txt_1", "Journey_Desc", "Form_Insert_Date"],[IDE_Form_Data_Key,Fieldvalue_txt_1,Form_Phone_Num,Subscriber_Key,Form_Id,Form_Name,Form_Type,Fieldname_txt_1,Journey_Desc,DateTime.SystemDateToLocalDate(Now())]);
            }
            Platform.Response.Redirect("https://thankyoupage", false);
