Does the word "painly" exist, meaning "causing pain", like "dead" -> "deadly"
Eg. "a thick painly truncheon"
Or should I use painful instead?
If "painly" is not a proper word, can I use it still in the quote marks to imitate child's speech?
Thanks

No it is not a word.
Plainly or painfully which have diffrent meanings. But not painly. It doesn't exist. Therefore I wouldn't use it at all.

Hello,
Painly is not an English word. Consider reconstructing your sentence using painful or painfully.
I hope this answers your question. If you’d like to practice speaking. I’d be happy to help you develop a study plan. Feel free to view my teaching profile and class offerings and send me a message if you think I can help you.
Regards.

In this case the word you are looking for is “painful”
