What should I learn? What´s next?
So in 3 days I´ve learned and memorized most of the basics/foundations and like certain rules in music theory: How to spell, build Major/Minor Chords/Scales, What Diatonics Chords they contain, Cycle of Fifth/fourth, Relative M/m Keys, Chord Scales, Roman Numerals + some Progression but I thought am I learning things that I need? I have the knowledge but I CAN´T make music out of it.. yet
My Goals are: Improvising from the head, Figuring out songs by ear and play them in my style, playing Jazz, Funk, (Groove)
I´ve hit a wall and so what am I supposed to learn (theory wise) for my goals?

Play music.
It sounds simple, but it's vital. You don't learn to speak English by memorising a dictionary and grammar textbook. Not to say that knowledge is useless; far from it. But there's no substitute for listening, and then joining in yourself.
So, find a band, and play really badly for a while. If you want to, you'll get better. Listen to lots of music, and not as sonic wallpaper. Train your ears to break down what you are hearing, and then imitate it. You'll soon start to recognise how that theory maps to what you hear. That's when it becomes really powerful.
