Built my fence in 1960s. Moved off the survey mark 24" on to my property to eliminate neighbors tying on to or using my fence without permission. Neighbor is now claiming the fence and the 24" of land. What do I need to do to correct the situation?

If you own real estate in Oklahoma, then you own it wherever you are. And, if you own it, you can sell it. However, your rights to sell or to take all the proceeds of a sale may be limited if there are other businesses or persons with an interest in the property.
