your 'vlansEnabled' receives a boolean as value. Booleans aren't strings.

So instead of:

'vlansEnabled': 'True',

Try:

'vlansEnabled': True,

There maybe other errors, so use this as a reference to make sure the values match the expected type:

params = {'name': vs_name,
          'destination': '{}:{}'.format('192.168.100.10', str(80)),
          'mask': '255.255.255.255',
          'description': 'Created by Python',
          'pool': my_pool,
          'profiles': profiles,
          'partition': 'Common',
          'sourceAddressTranslation': {'type': 'automap'},
          'vlansEnabled': True,
          'vlans': ['/Common/internal']
          }
 
ltm.virtuals.virtual.create(**params)

Cheers.
