I need help creating my own stages. I am really confused! ???

Basically, stage is comprised of 2 aspects: images to make background, panel and foreground layer AND entities such as enemies to beat in the stage.
I don't know which one you need help with but best way to start is edit a stage from a mod either by replacing background or by changing level spawns.

# ab = Pinepot left
# c = wall, ridge left
# d = wall, ridge right + 078
# e = window
# f = door
# g = wall
# h = Club K neon
# Set the order (don't make the lines too long)
# Syntax:
# order [a...z] (a sequence of panels, e.g. abcdefghij)
# order [a...z]
#
order fdefecdhfecggdabcd
order fdefecdhfecggdab
# Spawn format:
#
# spawn [id]
# alias [name] (change the displayed name, optional)
# map [num] (colourmap, range 0-3, optional)
# health [num] (optional)
# item [id] (obstacles only: contained item, optional)
# boss [0/1] (see below, optional)
# flip [0/1] (0 = face left, 1 = face right, optional)
# coords [num] [num] (coords relative to scrollpos)
# at [scrollpos]
#
# Also:
# wait (blocks scrolling until all enemies defeated)
# at [scrollpos]
#
# And:
# group [min] [max] (set minimum and maximum enemies, see below)
# at [scrollpos]
#
#
#
# Using group, you may set two values, namely:
#
# [min]
# If the number of enemies drops below [min], more enemies will be spawned
# (if possible).
#
# [max]
# No more than [max] enemies will be present.
#
# So, to make enemies appear in groups of four, use this:
# group 1 4
#
# To make them appear normally, use this:
# group 4 4

Just find a Mod that you really like and edit over the things it has to match the kind of game you want to make. Just edit what the stage looks like, change up the enemies, etc. Just looking at a Mod's Data folder is the best way to start creating your own levels. Then look at tutorials after you get an understanding of how everything works. 
(But if you're ever going to release the game, be sure that you've completely made the game your own. So it's not just a re-hash of the same game.)
