It's really common to find people like that in SV. A lot of the people I know didn't even graduate with a degree in Computer Science but rather just taught themselves on the side. Some don't even have a degree at all.
There's A LOT of resources online. I'd try codeacademy and do their JavaScript course. I'd learn the basics of javascript before jumping into any framework.
You don't necessarily need to learn how to use jQuery as well but it helps to understand how it really works. If you're building something simple, native javascript should suffice. It's been a long time since I've actually used jQuery since I'm mostly using React or Angular.
Once you have a grasp on JavaScript take a dive into a framework and follow along their TodoList example.
Actually, you might want to start with HTML and CSS, just get something to show up on the page and change how it looks with CSS. Javascript can come after since you'll need something on the page before you can start interacting with it.
