Hit their message board and wiki. Love’s community is pretty patient with beginners. You can also look into any of the tutorials listed on awesome-love2D.
As for level-making, love has a library for loading maps made in Tiled. Or you can go old-school and stuff a grid of ASCII characters in a file then map them to graphical tiles.
You can take this course to acquaint yourself with the basics of Love2D and gamedev in general. If you’ve never done programming before, you might also want to look into CS50 Introduction to Computer Science. These courses are free, well-made, and aimed at people who are new to programming. There is a a CS50 Discord server where you can ask questions and discuss the courses with other students.
