I do not have a business. I work for a private company Diamond Personal Care, LLC. Why is it stating I am self-employed?

Did you enter your income from the W-2 in the section for W-2's?  Or did you receive a Form 1099-NEC for your income?

It depends on how you were paid. If you received a W-2, then you are an employee. If you did not, you are by default self-employed.
