So, you say: just start
I agree with you but which youtube channel do you suggest ?

Watch through the first 5-10 results and see which you like the best, from there you can look at the documentation for specific features and functionality you want to add.

I discourage everyone to learn programming trough youtube or at least pick the right sources - senior dev tip.

Udemy / other professionals video-courses are exceptional though for insightful learning, however, the free package might not be enough for you so you ought to pay for it.

I would argue that udemy courses are good if you are coming from a place of no coding experience, however, I think youtube videos are great to get yourself situated and started with a new project.

You know python, so I would start with python-telegram-bot. It's the most used python library for telegram bots. A minimum bot is only 8 lines of code:

from telegram.ext import Updater, CommandHandler


def hello(update, context):
   update.message.reply_text(
       'Hello {}'.format(update.message.from_user.first_name))


updater = Updater('YOUR TOKEN HERE', use_context=True)

updater.dispatcher.add_handler(CommandHandler('hello', hello))

updater.start_polling()
updater.idle()
