After the moon and bright planets, I can’t find anything else in my telescope. Why?

You need to know where to look! One of the first things you should do is get familiar with the night sky without a telescope, and especially without a computerized telescope. We call this "low-tech" observing.

Learning your way around the night sky is like learning your way around the city from a street map. First you learn the highways and main streets, then you learn the side streets and where specific locations have what entertainment or restaurants you like. This way you can go back to them at other times without having to look up how to get there. In astronomy, eventually, you'll know the seasonal constellations and objects within them by where they reside near one another. You'll learn the roadmap of the night sky. Stick with it. Amatuer astronomy is a lifelong hobby. You have time.
