Hello! I am very interested in making a game and publishing it on the google play store. I read unity is a good software that helps create ok to good games. I just dont know where to start learning. I have a decent understanding of html and css, but would it be necessary? or should i look into c# or java? any advice would be appreciated.

I think C# is a good one to learn even if you don't plan to make a game, it's pretty versatile and can be used for lots of different purposes. Object oriented programming is a big topic and very different from html and css, so don't worry if it doesn't click overnight. The key is lots of practice.
