I just tried updating my bios firmware and after it gave me a message it was restarting my PC I’ve got no video since. It did say it was successful so I’m a little scared. I’ve tried resetting my PC, switching to onboard MOBO graphics, and unplugging the PC, nothing works. If anyone can help me out here I would greatly appreciate it as I’m a little worried.

MOBO - B450F Gaming

Version 2301 is the newest BUT IMO you should not have updated to that version unless you have a Ryzen 3000 series CPU, which is not out yet.
But since you already did I suggest that you power down your PC and unplug the PSU.
Then press the power button for 5-10 seconds to drain any residual power from the MB -(the leds on the IO shield will turn off).
Then open your case and touch a flat bladed screw driver to the 2 clear cmos pins for at least 10 seconds.
Then plug the PSU back in and start the PC.
Tap the DEL key repeatedly and hopefully the BIOS screen will load.
You might see a message to press F1 to reset the BIOS to default settings, if so press F1 and go into the BIOS and exit choosing to save the current settings.
Then reboot...

Then reboot again and see if it will boot into Windows.
If it does you can leave the BIOS at the Optimized Default settings or reboot and change settings to you liking.
If this process does not work the first time, start at the first step I listed and do them all again.
It may take 2 or 3 times to work.
If it doesn't work after 3 tries post back here and we can go from there.

Don't worry about it for now.
PS
The steps I listed above are also in the owners manual.
I have had my ROG Strix B450-F Gaming MB since November 2018 and I updated the BIOS from version 602 to 1103 to 1201 without any problems.
But version 2301 is meant to add support for the new 3000 series CPU's.
So as you are learning it really shouldn't be used if you have a 2000 series CPU.
But don't worry too much because I pretty confident that we can get it working for you as long as you you don't panic and go about this in a patient, methodical way.

I hope so, I’ve been in a panic state, so I just removed the CMOS and placed it back in, about to plug everything back and cross my fingers

just tried powering the PC back on, still no screen showing but now an LED indicator is showing yellow, I looked it up in the manual and it says it relates to DRAM, now I’m really panicking

Don't panic.
I have my Ryzen 5 2600 OC'd to 4 GHz and while testing various OC's my MB refused to boot quite a few times but I was always able to get it to recover.
Just do what I said in my last post and if that doesn't work we can try a few other things.

Is the yellow RAM light still on?
If so remove the RAM sticks and put just one stick in slot A2 (the second slot from the CPU).
Then unplug the PSU and clear CMOS again.
Then reboot and see if it will let you get into the BIOS.

computer only boots into BIOS and windows with only 1 RAM stick installed into MOBO after BIOS update which is in slot A2. Before update my RAM was configured into A2 & B2 as its recommended in the manual. Only when I have 1 slot into A2 does my computer boot.

help!!

loading into optimal default settings did the trick, I can now boot into windows normally with 16gb with both sticks, now my only error is my Ethernet is not being detected now, which it isn’t the wire because it was working fine until the update
