The directional light - are you sure you rotated it to face the scene? Rotating it away might cause the behaviour you describe.

I tried rotating it but it still makes everything gray I put soft shadows and high resolution I tried changing everything I could but nothing worked I did everything exactly the way the video told me as soon as a change the shadow type from no shadow to something else it gives the ball a shadow but at darkens everything

Its is most probably that you have the directional like facing upwards slightly , try rotating it.
