Hi there panfemale14, and welcome to Scarleteen.

We can't tell you just how to masturbate, as it's something that's a bit different for everyone, but we have some thoughts here: How Do You Masturbate? you can learn more about orgasm here: Sexual Response & Orgasm: A Users Guide
Orgasms can (like so many aspects of sex!) vary a lot in how they feel, both from person to person and from one orgasm to another. They might feel like a buildup and release of tension, an intense or overwhelming wave of pleasure, or a little hiccup of sensation that might not be that intense at all. One person can experience all of those things!

With time and experimentation you'll likely find out what orgasm feels like to you, and what works best for you while masturbating, but it is something that often takes a little bit of time to discover.
