The general flow would be something like:

• Identify the menu WebElement 

WebElement menuHoverLink = driver.findElement(By.linkText("menu link text"));

• Use Actions class to hover the menu

Actions actions = new Actions(driver);

actions.moveToElement(menuHoverLink).perform();

• Use Explicit Wait to wait for the next element to appear
  

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver,10);wait.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(By.linkText("sub menu text")));

• Now you should be able to click the submenu item

driver.findElement(By.linkText("sub menu text")).click();

As per software testing services company, it's not a good approach to select backdate in the calendar. Most of the application calendar backdate are disabled. But if you need to perform backdate scenario this selenium having minusDays method so you can use these.

So here the code:

For future dates:

public Date incrementDateByDays(int incrementDays) {

      LocalDate newDate = LocalDate.now().plusDays(incrementDays);

      return Date.from(newDate.atStartOfDay(ZoneId.systemDefault()).toInstant());

   }

In Case when you want to choose to backdate replace plusDays with minusDays

e.g.:- LocalDate newDate = LocalDate.now().minusDays(daysToSubtract)

From the above code, you have the future and backdate you have to match this with your current date(Calendar) and iterate till it matches the calendar date.

If need more details please share the web address(or similar calendar on another web if you have) where you want to perform this action.
