Once you've learned a few chords you'll be able to play a simple progression (set or sequence of chords). Having mastered that you can begin making up melodies by listening to the notes in the chords. Often you will be able to hear sequencs of notes that sound good. Sing them. That's the beginning of your tune.

I agree with allthumbs that it may be just a bit early for you. That shouldn't stop you from trying anyway, but meanwhile keep practicing those chord shapes and changes.
