When I wear my Navy dress blues, am I supposed to wear the ribbons I earned while in the Army or the Navy equivalent of those ribbons?

My question is if you wear army ribbons on your navy dress blues or are you supposed to wear the equivalent of those ribbons from the Navy. Example is to wear my army achievement medal or are you supposed to wear the navy/marine achievement medal.

Never wear medals/ribbons you were not personally awarded. If you have an AAM but not the NAM, then you wear the AAM. Always check the Navy regs on awards from different branches.

You do not have the Navy/Marine Achievement Medal, you have the Army Achievement Medal, you wear the Army Medal if it is allowed. You do not wear the Navy Medal as a replacement.

The answers that you are seeking should be in the United States Navy Uniform Regulations Manual. Your unit administrative personnel (or even your First Class or Chief) should be able to find this manual and review the information with you. My advice to you in the meantime is to only wear any medals or ribbons or awards that were awarded or presented or given or authorized to you by the Navy.
