How do I learn anything

I want to make my game, but I struggle with understanding its structure and how to do anything, and I don't mean the "Oh, how to choose the language or art style", no, I want to understand code. I have zero access to other game engines and coding tutorials, and the documentations in MicroStudio are useful only if you know the basics in my opinion, which I don't know. What should I learn to make my character move? What are classes and why do I need them for my game? If I use JavaScript or Pythone, should I prepare my code for them? I'm learning Java right now and I understand it, but have no idea on how to use it to create a game. I hope this is not confusing because I try so hard for these questions to make sense. If I should just give up and wait till I'm old enough to buy a computer and go to college please tell me so I will stop wasting my time

this is perfectly understandable, everybody needs to start somewhere. if you want to learn the basics, i'd suggest using the tutorials sections, follow along, and then mess around with variables and code to get a feel for how things work. you could also go to YouTube and search "mrLman" he has several tutorials you can follow to help get an understanding. there are links in the tutorials page but since you said you don't have access to engines, you are probably using a school laptop and the link it uses is blocked

Actts, Thanks for the help! I think that I wanted to make my game as quick as possible without even realizing I need to LEARN first (which will hopefully not take 10+ years). I already tried the tutorial section, but it was laggy for me, so I will check out the youtube channel you wrote about, thank you so much!
