Have a basement apartment and I want to make a three panel screen for privacy. How would I go about getting the supplies and building one myself ?

This is a tutorial you could try: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.apartmenttherapy.com/easy-folding-screen-room-divider-project-tutorial-229840%3famp=1
several ways:
3 hollow core doors and hinge them together. If you can’t find free ones, buy ones that are not drilled for door knobs.
3 pieces of 1/2” or thicker plywood and use strong hinges. Home Depot & Lowe’s will do two free cuts on your plywood, if their panel saw is working that day.
Build frames from 2x2 lumber, reinforce the corners with brackets and then staple fabric or curtains to the frames, & then hinges.
I always used painters canvas stretchers when I did screens.... https://www.stretcherbarwarehouse.com/standard-canvas-p/3-4-stretcher-bars.htm pick your height, and then the width of each panel to select each panel.
