To make the past simple sentence - I went to the cinema - a negative sentence we use did not/didn't = I didn't go to the cinema.
The past, negative form of do (did not) shows us this is a past sentence. The main verb go is the base form.
Past perfect is formed with - had + past participle.
Negative past perfect is formed with - had not + past participle.
So you can see this is different from a negative past simple verb phrase - did not + verb.
The did not in past simple doesn't change to had not in past perfect, they are different verb phrases.
