Why can't I create a prefab?

This may seem dumb, but I simply cannot create a prefab at all. I have downloaded version 2020.1.0f1 and am not able to make a prefab at all. I have tried to do it on my own because I thought it was simple enough as I have done it before, but when I tried to drag and drop it into a folder I created specially for prefabs I could not. Then I decided to look for it in the menus, still nothing. When I looked it up, I was told to do exactly what I was already doing. What is going on? Why can't I create one? Not even Assets->Create->Prefab works because the prefab step doesn't even exsist. Yes "Prefab Variant" exsists, but it is never actually able to be pressed. In fact I am unable to click and drag any assets in the folders at all.
