I'm new at this and have never installed Linux before. Every time that I try to install using a USB drive that I formatted with Rufus, it results in the error "/init: line 49: can't open /dev/sr0/: no medium found" and refuses to install and boot. What can I do to fix this?

For creating Ubuntu install media from windows, use win32diskimager as per the Ubuntu website. Most distro's can be written using balena etcher, it will verify if it imaged the USB correctly or not which is the #1 issue usually with bad installs. If you insist on Rufus, 95% of the time you should always use DD mode to image the drive. In the future, if you're still using Linux, or even Mac for that matter, use the dd command as it gets the job done every time and it's very simple.
