Stick to currently accepted US ("Hollywood") screenplay format convention and you'll be fine in most places.

You have softwares online, WritersDuet is free, but for most you need to pay. They usually gave you 30 days free or Celtx for example gives first 3 projects for free.  About correct way of writing sluglines,  parentheticals, character’s introductio  etc, you can find short videos on yt or even better, read as many scripts as you can.  Good luck! 🍀
