F1-currently applying for OPT but my visa ends June 2021. Help please!

Hello, I am an F-1 student who is graduating this year and currently applying for OPT. My visa ends in June 2021 (this year) and I was wondering how to go about this. Do I need to wait until I get my OPT and EAD to renew my visa? And am I able to do that in the US? Do I fill out the form I-539 or do I have to go do an interview? Any help is appreciated. Please dumb it down for me.

In summary: 1) not sure if I need to apply to renew/extend visa now or after EAD comes in 2) not sure how to go about renewing visa: through filing form I-539 online or by going to somewhere to interview (if so where can I go to interview-anywhere in the US? or do I have to go back to my home country to go to the US embassy?)

Thank you!

At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...
