No, you do not enter any information about Roth 401k contributions in the Roth IRA section of your return.
If you are contributing to the Roth 401k as a self-employed person, then there is a place to enter that information. Otherwise, if your contributions are through an employer they will be shown on your W-2 and entered along with your other W-2 information.
For the case of a self-employed 401k contribution, use these steps to go to that section of your return:
On the top row of the TurboTax online screen, click on Search (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax locate the search box in the upper right corner)
This opens a box where you can type in “self-employed retirement” (be sure to enter exactly as shown here) and click the magnifying glass (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax, click Find)
The search results will give you an option to “Jump to self-employed retirement”
Click on the blue “Jump to self-employed retirement” link and enter your information

I am self employed, but never contributed to roth 401k. I have already contributed to roth IRA last year. My Question is: can I contribute to both of these plans?
Thanks in advance,
No. If you've been contributing to your Roth 401(k) at work, it will be reflected as a reduction in wages in box 1 of your W-2. There is no need to make any other entries.
Yes, you can invest in both an Roth IRA and a 401k (or a Roth 401k and a Roth IRA) at the same time, or any combination of those accounts.
Here are the IRA limits for 2021:
