I want to paste multiple lines in command mode. (After the colon) How can I do this?
When pasting either a ^m pops out or just pastes the first line.

| can be used to separate commands, so you can give multiple commands in one
line. If you want to use | in an argument, precede it with \.

As you're trying to paste some text, it must be in a register already. I assume it is unnamed register then to execute it press :@@
And, no, you cannot just insert it into the cmdline unless you've replaced all CRs with | (and even then it may not work properly depending on the command you paste).

You can put a range like this:
:for i in range(1,255) | put='192.168.0.' . i | endfor
Or if you have a text on the clipboard:
:0put +
