So the core rule book says a wizard learns 6 1st level spells at level 1. But at first level my wizard isn't able to learn more than 4. I'm not sure if it's user error or what exactly is wrong here.
You have 6 spells in your spellbook, but you can only prepare a number of spells equal to your INT mod plus your wizard level (here, 1). So if your mod is 3, then you're looking at prepared spells instead of spells in your spellbook.
I've had a look at your character sheet and you are indeed able to learn more than 5 spells. You should be able to sort this out following these steps:
Open your character sheet
Click the 'Spells' tab (between actions and equipment)
Click 'Manage Spells' and a side bar will open
There will be three expandable menus below where it says wizard, click the one that says 'Add Spells'
This will list the number of cantrips (3) and prepared/known spells (5/5) at the top, and then a list of spells with a filter further down
Scroll down past the cantrips and you'll see a bit list of spells with either 'Remove' (if you already know them) or 'Learn' (if you don't) next to them
Its weird, I checked it through my phone today and it works but on my computer at home when i started this thread, all the learn buttons were grayed out for the 1st level spells and it wouldn't let me learn new ones which is what led me to post here. But thank you everyone for chiming in to help.

ddb.ac/characters/33337112/Hv935o hes level two now so hes got 5 learned as well as prepared. But he should have more learned.
Not the “share” link, the actual URL from the address bar. The Moderators will need that if we cannot help you troubleshoot this.
And you do know that you can learn more spells than you can prepare. Right? Under “Manage Spells.”
