I'm trying to make my own character sheet but I'm lost. One of the main characters is already a high elf; does that mean I can't be one?

Hi there! Do you have access to the Player's Handbook, or other published material? Is there a reason you believe there can't be more than one of a race in any given party? While you here, have you checked out the tour? It will help you get oriented with the Stack :)

Are you playing the most recent edition (D&D 5e, with a player's handbook that looks like this) or another?

If I may quote a very famous line in the swords and sorcery movie Highlander ... there can be only one! Also, who has told you that there is a main character?

Yes, you can still be a high elf.
Dungeons & Dragons characters aren't expected to be unique in every facet in any edition I can think of: you can have two high elves, or even a party of all high elves if that's what you all want to do.
Different races can bring new features to the group it doesn't already have access to, so that's something to consider, but wouldn't prevent you from sharing the same race as someone else.

Maybe also mention something about the “main character” thing in the question.
