Hello there!! Thanks for the welcome. I'm fermenting my first batch I made last Saturday & I'm kind of nervous. My CO2 valve on top of my fermenter has become covered on the inside with residue from my batch. What should I do, if anything?

That's quick. I'd give it at least two weeks in primary.
Look into getting a blow off tube for your fermenter. I clogged airlock will allow pressure to build inside your fermenter until it blows out the stopper or blows off the lid. Then you have a real mess to clean up. There are plenty of stories of washing the krausen off of the ceiling.
I start every fermentation using a blow off tube. It is better to be safe than splatter the ceiling.
