In manual YOU have to tell the camera what to do, its just a dumb box in manual mode and is waiting for your instructions. Set your aperture and shutter and ISO based on the need for the scene and lighting.
On a nice Sunny day set the ISO at 100, Aperture at F16, and shutter speed at 1/100 sec. See what you get then.
(or use ISO 200 and 1/200 sec shutter if your camera does not offer ISO 100)

Welcome to the forum, Candi (if I may call you that).

MT Shooter is correct. But to get in the general area, switch your camera back to auto. Note what the camera says it wants to set the aperture and shutter speed to. Then turn it back to manual. Use the camera's suggested settings as a starting point and vary the settings from there.

Good answers, also make sure your exposure compensation is not set for +. that can cause over exposure
