Have a list of random names behind the dm screen(I keep 10 of each gender) players love asking about that npc you only put there for set dressing.
If you don't know a rule you can always make a call that feels right in the moment to keep things moving then take the time to look it up for future sessions after the game.(sometimes a player will know the rule and it's helpful, if it turns into an argument I usually say something like "This is how I'm ruling for this session we can discuss how this will work in future sessions after the game")
Edit: Should have also said "Welcome to the world of DMing" and pointed you at the dm only forum, might get more attention there :-D
It's my first time DMing any sorta game or one shot, ive played for a few months and i think it'll be fun, any tips or suggestions?

Prepare, prepare, prepare, and prepare for it to all be for nothing.
