The squat is a difficult exercise for many people. It's also one of the best. I recommend squatting with body weight only and NOT increasing weight until form is perfect!
Once bad habits are learned, they are very hard to break. Many people get 'greedy' and up the weights far too soon.
If you are really uncomfortable with the free weight squat, there are plenty of alternatives such as the leg press, bulgarian split squats, split squats, lunges, etc.
It's best to learn the exercise from someone who knows what they're talking about.
That said, I've 'coached' plenty of people to execute a good squat via the web too....

3 times per week sounds about right.

switch off arms/lower body.

If you are going to go 3x per week, I'd make each day you train a full body routine.
Also, by arms, I assume you mean upper body?
