I just purchase a Genmitsu 3018 Pro. I have not learned to create files to create designs. So I was hoping to purchase and download compatible files.

Looks like that is a hobby-level CNC router that runs some form of GRBL for the router control. You can probably find some public files in Onshape that might be appropriate for that router. What sort of CAM system will you be using to generate toolpaths for the router and does it have a post-processor for the router? If none of that makes sense, ask more questions and someone here moght be able to help.
Start with a basic square with a hole or two in it. That will be easy for you to model, and easy to machine on the cnc.
After you model it, you will need to use CAM software to generate the g-code that the cnc needs. Unfortunately, Onshape does not offer that on the hobby plan. It's only on the paid professional plan.
