I doubt anyone can help you without the log file.
It's called "latest.txt" and it's in the logs folder.

How exactly are you starting the server?

I used forge to start the server, it made a couple extra files like it's supposed to, i agreed to the eula, but everytime i click forge 1.16.5-36.10.jar it dosen't open and create the folders that it's supposed to, like the mods and config folders

Run the file from the command line and post the output.

Sorry if its really blurry, but seriously all that happens is it flashes briefly and then stops, and then nothing happens. That’s why I could only get this pic, because it pops up for a second after I run the cmd and then it’s gone

Java 16 is not yet supported. Use Java 8.

sorry for the late response,  but I did everything over again this time with java 8 and it still won't open
