Im not shure what i should learn next in guitar- i can read music- play chords: C, D, E, F, G, A, Bb, B, Em, Am, Fm,
I can play and sing to songs that use any of these chords, so what should i learn now? Obviously, i should learn some mor minor chords, but what else?
Btw, i've taught myself

i dont exactly know any scales right now- wait- i do no the penatonic or whatever scale i guess. I can play quite a few songs buy ear that dont use chords.

the only kind a barre cords i know are like the B/Bb and F/Fm i think. I have an acousic and an electric guitar and the electric has a smaller neck width for smaller hands like mine, so i find it easier to do barre cords on the electric than the acoustic

As an early musician, the two best things I learned were scales and chord theory. It's one thing to know how to play an E chord, or an Em, but if you know WHY the Em IS an Em (the flatted 5th) then you can figure out how to turn a C chord into a Cm, or an F#m into and F#. And you really MUST learn the theory of sustained, augmented and diminished chords -- these will show up a lot in more advanced music.
Also, learn your barre chords. If you can play all chords as barre chords, then you can change key relatively simply (e.g. if you know how to play a C as a barre chord, but the song calls for a D, just move the C chord up two frets).
These few techniques will take you a long way.

A good question and you've done well.
By learning the Chromatic Scale in notes and chords you will further your expertise. Take the following chords in the first fret and then apply each of them up and down the fretboard, learning their names:
Fm: 133111
Bbm: 113321
C#: X43121
Bb7: XX3131
There are more, but you may know them already.

Learn the notes on the guitar. i.e. open string E, first fret F, second fret F# ect.ect. Then there's scales, and keys, and scale/key relationship, chord progressions, chord extensions, intervals, leads and solos. The fun thing about music, it's a never ending learning process.

you can now learn how to play the minor, sharp and sharp minor chords in the guitar. Once you are done learning these you can always try learning the m7th or n7 chords, though they are not used much. If you have not learnt pluckering your guitar, that is also something you could look forward to
enjoy!

I don't know what you can play now, so I can't tell you what to play next... If you're fast and virtuoso now, try for "The flight of the bumblebee". If you're not so good but want to rock, try something like "Smoke on the water" My best suggestion is to recruit some pals and start a band, then decide the cover songs... then play them live (If you don't intend to play live, why to start at first?).

Dominant sevenths (i.e., C7) and Major sevenths (i.e., Cmaj7).
In addition, learn barre chords.
