This is draw by stalemate. It's White to move but White has no legal moves, which means it is a draw according to the rules.

not moving anywhere without putting himself into check isn't a win? literally anywhere he moves I win, i trapped him and it's a draw? ok man this rules makes no sense

But your opponent can't move, because the rules state a king can never move into check, or make a move that exposes the king to check. Moves also can't be skipped. And the king is not in check.
By the rules, in that situation, it's a draw by Stalemate.
the king has no legal moves which is why you need to put him in check.
In both, checkmate and satelmate the king has nowhere to go, the difference between Checkamte and stalemate is that in checkmate the king is in check and in stalemate the king isn´t.

One of the most asked questions along with en passant and castling rules. As you play more, they will become second nature and you will learn to avoid them (unless you're me and still blunder a stalemate up a queen and bishop while low on time like I did a day ago). Good luck with your chess!
