That's more of a difference of spelling and typography, the letters that look like f are actually s, it's just how a lot of things were written back then. Combined with spelling being less codified back then so you get stuff like fleepe = sleepe = sleep.
Old English, Middle English, and Modern English are technical linguistic terms and ways of categorizing the historical changes in the language
