No freaking out, Kim, this is something you can actually do! While I didn't find any step by step directions for replacing the screen on your phone, I did come across a YouTube video that looks complete and will show you what you need to do.
Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite Screen Replacement - YouTube
This video shows the proper way to do it by replacing the screen + frame assembly instead of just the screen by itself. You basically have to take the guts of the phone out of the old frame and move them all to a new frame attached to a new screen, but Samsung actually makes it fairly easy to do.
You'll need some tools; watch through the video to see what they use, then you can order everything you need on the iFixit Store. You don't need to buy a heat gun; a normal hair dryer will work fine for everything they used it for.
As far as the screen + frame assembly, just do an internet search for your particular model. I normally start with Amazon, eBay and AliExpress as my top choices, depending on how fast you want it, the quality of the screen and the cost. Amazon usually has good quality parts and is normally the fastest deliver but tends to be the most expensive of the three, while AliExpress is the cheapest and can be of lower quality - but not always - however shipping times can be long. eBay is usually somewhere in between those two with shorter delivery times and moderate prices.
Here's one of the first ones that came up on my cursory search; note that the frames come in different colors so you should order the one that matches your phone. The difference is only cosmetic so technically you could use any screen/frame but you might as well order the right one. Check the model number in the listing against your own model to make sure it's the right one for you.

Take lots of pictures as you do your replacement then you can use those to author your own guide for people who end up with the same problem you have. The community will thank you and you'll have fun doing it!
