The tires don't support my full weight and make a squeeky sound, even when pumped up all the way. The bike can easily support me, so do I need new tubes? And how do I select them?

You should probably get new tubes and also tires. Just check the size on the sidewall of the tire and buy tubes to match. If you are unsure of your tire/tube changing skills then take your bike to a dealer and have them do it for you. You should also get an inspection/tune up while you're at it since you haven't ridden it for so long.

If it has been years, I would strongly recommend a visit to your local bike shop. Tires and tubes DO go bad and lubricants also get hard or dry up...just a squirt of oil here and there won't correct this.

give ur bike a rinse then pump it up and ride it for a while if it still have problems then chage the tyres and tube and remember to lube up the bearings.

sounds like it needs a lube job if it is squeaking.
