I am having trouble changing my site up. I see themes and I add them and activate them and nothing changes in my website. I want to choose a theme, apply it and have my site look exactly how that theme is advertised. What am I doing wrong?

Themes need configuring. You have to go into the theme customizer and edit everything yourself, especially if it’s a new website.
I’m not an expert as I always use the same theme but it’s definitely not so straightforward because one theme may have functionality that another doesn’t.
I commented in your other post – you aren’t seeing changes because the themes you’re installing are basic, and you already have your pages styled.
A lot of premium themes come with “demo content” – install that to get the same look as what you’re seeing on the advertised site.
As always, read the documentation.
