Alright.
You have your major scale, yeah? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.
You build chords by stacking intervals of thirds.
So the first chord is built with the notes 1, 3, and 5. The distance between 1 and 3 is a major third, the distance between 3 and 5 is a minor third. Hence stacking thirds.
Next chord is built by stacking 2, 4, 6. The distance between 2 and 4 is a minor third, 4 and 6 is a major third. Which makes up a minor chord.
Third chord is 3, 5, 7.
And so on, and so on.
Try having a look at my trusty chord progression chart. The screenshot is in the key of A, but a major chord progression uses the same sort of chords in any key. 1st, 4th and 5th chords are major, rest are minor except 7th which is diminished (minor third+minor third).

WHY IS BONER EAT THE BOY?

I should mention that chords built with 3 notes are called triads. Those are your basic chords. You can also stack 4 notes, which is what I have done in my chart. That's how you get 7th chords.
1+3+5+7
2+4+6+1
3+5+7+2
etc.

Everything you just said sounds like complete gibberish

Learn some basic theory, then. Teach yourself the major scale and its intervals and what chords you can build from them.

I tried dumbing it down a bit.
The first chord in C major is... a C major.
You get it from stacking 1, 3 and 5.
1=C
3=E
5=G
Combine the three and you get a C major triad.

Second chord in the key of C major is a D minor.
2=D
4=F
6=A
When combined they make a D minor chord.

When you know what chords fit your key and scale you can try out which ones sound interesting when played after one another.
An example of a basic chord progression in major scale would be chord 1, 6, 4, 5.
You'd write it in roman numerals to easier write out the chord type. Major chords are written with capital letters, minor chords are written with small letters.
So that chord progression would be written like I, vi, IV, V.

In C those chords would be:
C, Am, F, G.
