Unity intellisense in VScode not working and Omnisharp is giving multiple errors and warnings

Question

So, I'm kind of new to coding. I'm making a game in Unity and I just got to scripting. Unfortunately, VScode is not working with me. I've installed the latest C# extension in VScode and .NET version is 6.0.401.

Whenever I boot up the IDE I get an error message

Some projects have trouble loading. Please review the output for more details.
Source: C# (Extension)

When I check the output, this is what it says:

Also, the intellisense isn't working so I have to type things in manually. I am not nearly sane or smart enough to try to fix it. If any more info is needed, I will provide.

I don't know why this isn't answered yet but to make it as simple as possible unity does not use the latest version of .net yet it still directs you to the link of the latest but it's written in the log that it's looking for version 4.7.1 download it from here my brother (download the devPack then restart ur pc) https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet-framework/net471

You need the Dot net developer pack version 4.7.1(not the runtime version) for VScode to work properly with Unity.

Make sure you close Vscode and Unity while installing the developer pack.
