Internal is not a real Oracle user so you can't use the alter user command. When you connect as Internal, you are connected as SYS.

The connect internal password is controlled by an Oracle 'Password' file. To create a password file login at os level as the Oracle software owner and issue the command:
orapwd file=$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/orapw$ORACLE_SID password=mypasswd
You should create this file when the database is shut down.

For more details have a look in your Oracle documentation (Chapter 1 of the Oracle Administrator's Guide)

The password file is only used for remote OS authentication. Often the password file is not even set up. If it is then it needs refreshing if you change the sys password.
alter user SYS identified by PASS;
