Mmm...
"Érase una vez..." is the standard Spanish way to start a tale...
Another could be, "Érase que se era..." (but that seems more complex for a new learner)
Oxford Bilingual gives,
once upon a time there was a princess = érase una vez
or había una vez una princesa
If you want to use the second Oxford "simpler" option, that will be understood, but the most common is the first one.
