Why did William Shakespeare say don't believe everything on the internet?

You read that he said that on the internet, didn't you?
The internet was invented something like 320 years after Shakespeare was born, so obviously he could not have specifically referred to it. He did however support the general observation, "Don't be gullible," of which skepticism of the internet is only a specific example. Some characters in the plays, such as Sir Andrew Aguecheek in Twelfth Night, are too gullible for their own good, and suffer for it. Some of Shakespeare's contemporaries, especially Ben Jonson and Thomas Middleton, loved writing plays about con men and their gullible marks: see for example Jonson's The Alchemist and Volpone, or Middleton's Michaelmas Term.
