The Arch of Constantine is dedicated to Constantine's victory over the Emperor Maxentius, did Constantine also hold a Triumph to commemorate his victory over his fellow Roman?

It was my understanding that Triumphs and more broadly triumphal forms were only used to mark victory in foreign wars. Thanks.

No, Constantine held no triumph over Maxentius. There's no particular passage I can point to, since it's difficult to prove a negative, but there is no mention of one, and I found the following passage while looking for someone who had made a more exhaustive search:

Despite the reference to Constantine's victories in the main inscription, it is technically incorrect to refer to this arch as a triumphal monument, as Constantine never claimed a triumph after his civil-war victory over Maxentius.

There is an image on the arch of Crispus participating in a triumphal procession, but this is in general believed as meant to be seen figuratively, as a general expectation of Crispus following in his father's triumphant footsteps rather than participating in an actual triumph.
