Also im not the best at Bitcoin, i know how to use it, but im not sure how the seeds work. What did you mean when you said

Quote

Send the coins to a newly created Electrum wallet with the seed.

I'm referring to Hierarchical determistic (HD) where a large amount of addresses can be generated from a single string of alphanumerical letters(master private keys) or a string of words, usually 12-24 words.

Electrum supports this by default so when you create a wallet, select the standard wallet and Create a new seed. You will be given 13 words and you should remember them.

Ok it seemed to fix the problem, can i send bitcoins like normal now?

Yup. Should work fine if you're using the latest version. That being said, don't use Multibit anymore. Transfer it to another wallet, Electrum or Core etc.

Ok i acted before i got a reply so i sent a little bit to my online wallet to see if it worked normal. I did work, but right after my whole wallet just snapped, like multibit just stoped functioning, so i closed it and reopened it. And the same problem occured. I have now clicked the same reset button again and when its done this time il transfer all my bitcoins to my online wallet and not use multibit anymore. Thank you very much for all your help.

MultiBit has long been abandoned. Multibit Classic was extremely unreliable for me and it didn't work for a long time.

You have to export your keys to somewhere else. To do that, you can either try to send the coins to another address or to export it altogether.
To try to fix this, go to Tools>Reset Blockchain and transactions and select the option to reset. Send the coins to a newly created Electrum wallet with the seed.

If the above doesn't work, go to Tools>Export Private Keys. Select your directory to export it to and don't encrypt it with a password. Next, open the file (.key) with any word editor like NotePad. Copy the string of letters beside your address that you wish to export. Go to your Electrum wallet and go to Wallet>Private Keys>Sweep and paste it inside the box. Press sweep and the coins will be on their way to your Electrum address. Remember to backup the seed.

Ok i clicked the Reset Blockchain and transactions, and now it says updating. I just realised that multibit has been abandon. I've used it since early 2014 and never had any issues with it. Hope this will work. Embarrassed
