Scriptwriter...? I think...
I've decided that I would like to write stories, design characters, and basically write movies, but I didn't know what the career was called, so I just guessed maybe scriptwriter... If you know the correct name, I'd be happy if you told me! Also, are there any really good colleges for this type of career?

You can get copies of scripts online to help you become familiar with the formats.
I would discourage a major in screenwriting because it's such a narrow field, but get general writing and all the screenwriting courses you can take while you major in something else you like. You might also look for some summer classes that specialize in this area.

The correct terminology is screenwriter. There are a lot of college/university programs that teach strictly that or there are film schools that teach you to write, direct, edit and all about production.
There is also journalism which would be totally different from screenwriting but good to pick up so you can write just about anything and get it published.
For now take any English course you can that teaches creative writing and building characters as it will greatly help later if you have always been doing it.
As far as schools goes I'm not aware of where you are from, budget etc. or about schools outside of my own country. However, if you get Googling and researching it further the top schools and what you'll need should be apparent.
