you need to use the forecast for both the mean and sigma. It should look something like this:
forecast = ugarchforecast(modelfit, n.ahead = 1, data = mydata);
sigma(forecast);
fitted(forecast)
Then plug these values into the equation:
\begin{align}
\hat{VaR}_{0.99,T|T-1}&=\hat{\mu}_{T|T-1} + \hat{\sigma}_{T|T-1} * q_{0.99}
\end{align}
where $T$ is ...

The standard answer to your question would be to do the maximum likelihood estimation. When you say "plug in $\sigma$" you can show that the sample estimate of $\sigma$ is actually the maximum likelihood estimate of $\sigma$ for the normal distribution.
If I can assume that your data are IID then what you do is use your distribution with parameters ...
