It's kind of hard to explain without pointing at the screen/program and saying "put that there, do that, do this" lol...

But essentially you need to put the frames of a video clip into the timeline, set your frame speed and make sure the clip isn't too long so that it can be uploaded as an avatar and isn't too big in file size.

Actually making an animation is a slightly different matter.

You need to draw something/insert a picture or whatever else, setup your timeline, create motion tweens and such, set keyframes and all the rest of it.

Have you tried youtube or something similar?
Usually there's video tutorials on most things, that show you exactly what to do, where to click etc.
