So I know basic music theory, scales and stuff, but anything having to do with actually creating music.... I'm just lost. My voice teacher says stuff like, if you want to have this song sound a certain way, then use this rhythm or this scale, etc. It works great when I'm with him, but I'd like to learn to do this on my own. Does anyone know if there's a website or something with information about stuff like this?

Private teachers are a great source of information and resources. Although the internet is as well, it is not as focused as it needs to be to fully stimulate learning for a student studying a specific term or idea.
In short, ASK YOUR TEACHER. Although I may have the resources to help you, I cannot because I don't know what you are studying or how advanced you are as a student. Your teacher will know better than anyone you find on this website.
If you're worried you'll sound dumb when asking for that kind of help. DON'T! That's what he's there for. It's taken me years to figure out how much help my teachers can actually be for me. Had I known sooner, I would be a lot better of a performer than I am now.
