Resources!
Where do you find them, these TTRPG or D&D resources?
The internet, and through my own experiences and talking with other DM’s
Over time I have accumulated a few resources for players, for game design & homebrew and for supplementing or supporting us Dungeon Masters.
I have a growing Google spreadsheet that listing these items, but you will need details on those resources as a list won’t have descriptions or details.

Wizards (Of The Coast) Resources
Through the D&D Beyond website (I’m sure I will refer to this often as it’s a good site) they have a section on resources. On the link you will find resources for providing character sheets, the basic ruleset & sage advice on topics on D&D

D&D Beyond Resources
D&D Beyond started as a partnership between Curse LLC (A Subsidiary of Twitch) & Wizards Of The Coast, then Curse LLC it was acquired by Fandom Inc.
Following that D&D Beyond was acquired by Hasbro and is now operated by Wizards.
It’s a great digital resource for character creation, some DM management and a couple of intro adventure modules.
There is certainly enough here on the site to help you level up and there a further wealth of resources on the site on being a DM.
Drive Thru Role Play Games (DTRPG) Resources
For digital resources for adventures, modules, rulesets, art, comics, virtual tabletops (VTT’s), digital magazines & play aids, this is the Granddaddy site for all of these types of resources. They have resources on virtually any current TTRPG Inc. D&D on their site. Most of the value is almost all the work is created by fellow hobbyists. Just about any item you buy on this site has been created by an enthusiast, someone just like you or me.
The site also has links to their sister sites. These sites have official Warhammer, Call Of Cthulhu, Pathfinder & Dungeons & Dragons but are items that are user-created (again by people just like you and me) with permission from those publishers.

There are a few online map-making sites, put simply, Inkarnate is a web-based map-making application that lets you quickly bring your fantasy worlds to life in stunning detail.
World Anvil (world building for your campaign) Resources
Like most software, there are a few out there that many use and I have just scratched the surface and started to use World Anvil for my campaign building.
