3. What are some serious injuries that occur?
4. Can you become paralyzed from lifting weights(I heard that from a friend)?
5. How much should I lift overall?
6. I am trying to gain muscle, so is it good to weight lift?
Sorry I know that there are a lot of questions but I would like to know what I getting myself into, so please can someone answer my questions as best as possible. I would greatly apprieciate it. Thank You and I wish everyone nothing but the best.

Some of the members here on WL&D might have some of your answers, though. Check back, and do try the other community.
Personally, with my limited experience, I would say you should have someone show you the proper way to lift, to reduce the chance of muscle or joint injury. A professional can also help optimize your workouts by working effectively.
-it is good to have a rest day between your workouts, I can tell you that much.
See if you can find a good personal trainer and pay for a couple sessions. It will be well worth your time.
