What did the Catholic Church create to stop people from celebrating pagan festivals?
Basically, the Catholic Church understood that human beings are attached to, and need, holidays and happy events to celebrate. So, the Catholic Church replaced the pagan festivals with Holy Days that celebrate, honor and remember the life of Jesus Christ.
As Christians, God does not require that we be somber all the time and never have any fun. Not denying people their fun celebrations but instead transforming them into celebrations of Christ's life made the transition/conversion from Paganism to Christianity a lot easier. For example, Christ-Mas (the Birth of Christ) is celebrated around the time of the Winter Solstice/Yuletide even though it is believed that Jesus was really born in Spring not Winter. It doesn't really matter when (what specific date) we celebrate the events in Christ's & the Church's life, it just matters that we DO celebrate them.

Did Catholic create Christian?
Not real sure what you are asking here, as Catholic and Christian mean the same thing, although many in the modern world use Christian to mean something other than Catholic. In its original meaning, Catholic and Christian are identical, so one did not create the other. If you are asking about protestants, when you use the word, Christian, then, no, certainly not, as protestantism is a heresy which has been condemned by the Church in no uncertain terms. If you are using "Christian" in that sense, then the answer is "no", they created themselves as apart from Christ's church and in making their own church are trying to appropriate the word Christian to themselves.
