I'm new at OBS. I want to create educational videos to post on YouTube. I have learned how to create a scene with a media picture, and with video capture, I put myself in the scene. No problem. When I create a second scene and add myself to it also, if I return to my first scene, my picture is frozen. Surely there is a way around this that I can have several scenes available if I want to switch from one to another. Can somebody help me.?

Windows doesn't allow apps access video capture devices multiple times, so you cannot add your webcam as multiple sources. However, you can add multiple instances of the same source by using the "add existing" option while adding some source. This way you're just creating another instance of an existing source. So remove your additional webcam sources, then add it again with the "add existing" option.
You identify instances of the same source by name: all instances of the same source have the same name, and every distinct source has a different name.
All instances of one source inherit the same filters. So if you need to add different filters to instances of the same source, add a group and put the instance into that group, then add the filters to the group and not directly to the instance. This way you uncouple the filters from the source.
