Newbie here!!
I finally finished tagging my .mp3s, but when I exit mp3tag the filenames are still the same? Am I doing something wrong?

Filenames are no tags. They are a property that the OS needs to address the files.
If you want to rename the files, use Convert\>Tag-Filename.
Also, have a look at the documentation
