Can I file taxes one for self-employed and another for W2 earnings? or Is it possible that I can file both together?

I've driven for ridesharing companies for the 2018 year and also I had a part-time job. But I wasn't able to do the tax file for the Self-employed and I prepared the tax file with W2 earnings. I'm yet to mail them but just don't know if I should mail or If I can file all the earnings together.

You need to file it all together.  You should not file multiple tax returns. Do not mail the return you've already prepared.  If you drove for a ride share company you were self-employed, and will need to use TurboTax Self-Employed.  You can easily add your W-2 from your part time job to that return, or you can upgrade your other return to self employed and then add your self-employment income to the return you've already started.
