is there a websight or anything that will show me how to read chords. or do i have to figure it out fo my self?
notes stacked on top of each other are chords like low C,E,high c is a c chord right. if so is there some place i can see chords and what they would look like on the music staff?

Don't forget when figuring out the notes of a chord from a chord diagram, to include the open strings. A C major chord consists of the notes C E & G. The C chord diagram that (I assume) you're describing has C on string 5, E on string 4 G on string 3 (open), another C on string 2 and another E on string 1 (open).
I don't know of any website that shows common chord shapes in standard notation, but it's quite easy to figure it out. That 5th string 3rd fret C in standard notation (for guitar) is shown as middle C on the treble staff. The other notes fall into their proper places on the staff above that note.
Try some of the lessons on this website for reading standard notation. That will help.
Good Luck.
