First you need to learn how to kick. You put both palms against the side of the pool and keep your feet like you were standing on your toes. Then you want to make small, relatively quick motions with your legs, alternating between them. You don't want to bend your knees very much because this will actually slow you down. You can practice breathing like this as well. You will find it easier to breath on one side of your body (since despite what /fit wants, no body is perfectly symmetrical), so practice breathing on that side.
Once you have all that down, you can start making strokes. In a crawling motion, not a windmill. You are basically reaching out, pulling at the water until your arm is toward the bottom of the pool, and then you start pushing against the water with that arm.
