Sorry but no.
The R4 Arduinos come with a USB C socket on them, but that is the only Arduinos that do.

For working on these I have some adapters that convert from a USB C socket to a micro USB output, but you would need that to be the other way round.

Try a search on eBay or get the right cable in the first place.

I have several microcontroller boards with USB type C connector, e.g.
Espressif ESP32-S3-DevKitC-1
Raspberry Pi PicoAdafruit RP2040 CAN Bus Feather
lastest ESP32 NodeMCU

Yes but none of those are Arduinos are they?

What you have purchased is either an Arduino compatible or Arduino clone. I don't think any genuine Arduino can be purchased on Temu.

If the board you have purchased has a usb-c socket, then you can use a usb-a to usb-c cable. But take care, because sometimes the cables are intended only for charging/power and cannot be used for data/programming.

If you plug in the board with a usb-a to -c cable, and the pc/laptop does not indicate that a new device has been connected, then the cable may be a charging/power only cable.
