Hi Palexchick, I am no expert but it sounds like your strings are set too low or there is a problem with the neck of your guitar. If two strings are buzzing with the capo on, they are probably hitting on a higher fret. Raising the action should bring the strings up so that they are not hitting but you might want to bring the guitar to a guitar shop to have them look at it to make sure that there is nothing wrong with the neck itself, it might need an adjustment on the truss rod.

Sometimes you can come down on the strings on a slant with a capo and push them towards the edge of the fretboard causing buzzing. Check that out.
