Take the skills you have and look for a job, preferably for a company doing client work. You can use what you know now to apply a designer's design as a cms template. Chances are, they'll have developers on staff that you can learn from to get into development. The reason I say to look for a company that's doing client work is that it'll give you exposure to working on a large array of solutions you wouldn't get otherwise. That exposure will come in handy when you go freelance.
