2) Use the Rectangle Select tool to create a square selection

3) Select > Rounded Rectangle 50%

4) Select > To Path

5) In the Paths Dialogue make the path visible (Paths Dialogue is near the Layers Dialogue)

6) Edit > Stroke Path. Foreground colour will be used. Adjust Line Width to suit.

Bonus Question:
In the Tool Options, what Mode are you using for the fuzzy select tool? Is it in Subtract mode? Change it to Replace.

1. When I do that it just puts a random circle in the middle of my page and its black, i just want the image itself to be a rounded edged square. no lines or anything.

2. For bonus: Its on replace

3. Ignore 1. I got the rectangle but it wont let me edit on the original image even when i created the path on the transparent layer :/

Looks like you have imported an SVG and you have some paths remaining

These are only displayed in Gimp and are not part of the image. Turn the path visibility off - The eye icon in the paths dialogue toggles on/off

Other ways for cropping an image down to a rectangle with rounded corners.
The rectangular select tool has a rounded corners option.  https://i.imgur.com/dtkyE7u.jpg
In the select menu a rounded-rectangle script. https://i.imgur.com/RK3DtCw.jpg

Either makes a selection, Invert the selection, then cut.

Bonus question - Bonus guess

The fuzzy select tool is in the wrong mode, probably intersect mode (with nothing to intersect) Make sure the mode is the first  on the left (layer) https://i.imgur.com/bVVfkmd.jpg
