Start small. One step at a time. YouTube has a lot of start to end tutorials on various disciplines. I believe html, css, and js are the backbone of... web dev - then Python is also really useful to learn and work in.

If your goal is to be employed by a company, then look at what the company is looking to hire and work backwards until you’re the perfect fit.

Don’t be afraid to work at start ups or for small pay. People get so bent out of shape wanting to get paid so much money for nothing. Just work band be happy, money will come.  more

Myself, I did web development using PHP, self taught. After I learnt a number of things I created a Church Database System. From there it's when I... understood most of the theories I had learnt. So pick a project, any, you can give yourself....and work on it. You will practically learn a lot along the way.
Don't wait for a client first. Also, most clients will work with someone who has a demo of their work or skills.

There are free hosting sites as well later when you want to put it online.
