I do know how to find the keys on the piano/keyboard such as ABCDEFG, I know where all of those keys are and everything, I just can't read sheet music. I can tell what notes are which by looking at the paper, but it takes me a long time to figure it out. I really, really want to be able to play Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven. Can anyone help me, please?

The note with a black circle means 1 beat, the note with a circle that isn't shaded means 2 beats; that means you hold it for two beats. A squiggly line is a rest for one beat, and a hat-looking note is a rest for two beats.
If you don't know what the notes are on the lines, then find a chart that tells you.
The note G is on the bottom line of the four lines.

I can virually guarantee that she cna't play that song by self teaching. Can you learn to get around on the piano and play melodies and simple chords? Yes. Play "real" piano music? NO. If you cna't give REALISTIC advice don't give any. DUDE!

By the way Main Tube, that was really funny. LOL.
