Well,

Every application has a single "Entry Point". In the case of console applications this will be the Main(string[] args) method.
Just like the Highlander, there can only be one!

You can, however, use console applications as referenced resources. The simplest example would be to have both console applications in the same project and a third "access" console app which references each of the two previous apps. The new "access" app will have to use the two referenced apps methods.

The best way to prepare the two console apps for this is to have almost nothing in each of their Main methods. Main just runs another public method that can be accessed by the "access" console app.

I hope that makes sense

When you asked a similar question yesterday: Can we convert console application in to web application in C#[^] it was about a single application, which you haven't got working yet (since you were still asking questions under an hour ago).
With two, it's getting worse, particularly when you want to run them "in a web page" - you cannot start apps on the client from a web page, or from the server - or malicious sites would kill or infect every machine that approached them - so the apps would have to run at the server. And since you need that "every program has again input and output options" the advice I gave you for the last question still applies: sit down, and work out what the UI should be, and recreate the app for the new environment. You are fast approaching the point where any other approach is going to give you more work to do than it could ever save you, as well as being next to impossible to maintain.
