I need some help with converting numbers to a special word format.

For example, let's say I have the number 2,000, I want to convert it to two thousand. Simple enough. Now...let's say I have the number 23,000...I want to convert it to two three thousand. 15,500 would be converted to one five thousand five hundred, so on and so forth.

So what happens when you test it?

The current code logic I have doesn't write the numbers in the format I want. For example, it will write 23,000 as "twenty-three thousand" as opposed to "two three thousand".

Then you should change the logic for numbers in the 10s, 20, 30s etc., ranges.

You need two separate functions: the one you have and one that converts numbers to the sequence of digit words: NumberToDigitWords(23) => "two three"
Then in the main NumberToWords, call the NumberToDigitWords in the places where you want that behavior, instead of simply calling NumberToWords recursively.
