Depends what you are actually trying to build. If it is not too complex you can get pretty far with just HTML, JS/jQuery and CSS.
If your goal is to build a complex single page app then you will do fine with React, Angular or Vue. All of these have a learning curve made more complex by the compilation stages required to get it to the browser, but the documentation made by the developers should be enough to get started.
If you want to become competent without having to waste time tracking down blog posts or Stack Overflow answers for specific questions, go and buy a Udemy course for the particular library you want to use. All of the big ones have good courses that will take you from zero to making your own application. It should give you a strong foundation. The courses are inexpensive if you wait for a sale day. There are often a couple every month.
Finally, I think this is where ChatGPT really shines. It is a great tool for exploring new libraries and solving all the small problems you run into along the way. Imagine all the questions you would want to ask on Stack Overflow but they would get downvoted, you can ask those questions to ChatGPT. Stuff like how do I make a checkbox, why does this piece of state not update like I expect it to, how do I display my components in certain routes, show it your webpack file and ask why your application is not starting, etc.
