My guitar previously had a mono output jack and i cant figure out how to wire my new stereo output jack to my guitar.
Same as you would a normal jack, just ignore the extra lug as you won't be using it. Just wire up the tip and sleeve lugs, leave out the ring lug.

Im sorry lol but im new to guitars, On the mono output jack theres 1 hot and 1 ground. but on the stereo theres 2 hots and 1 ground. where do i get the other hot?

Solder the hot to the lug connected to the tip, and the ground to the lug connected to the sleeve. Ignore the third lug, which is the ring.
So you want a stereo output? What exactly do you want the wiring to be? Are you going to be using a Y-cable to go to two different amps?

Once again, what are you trying to do here? The more info you give me the more I can actually help you.

This is probably the best option in this case as you will have a lot more flexibility. Especially since you're only wanting to split your signal in two while keeping it the same.
Input Output Jack Wiring
As for your wiring, just splice the hot into two wires with one each going to the tip and ring. Wire the ground to the sleeve as normal. You can install a DP switch as well if you want to switch between S/M whenever.
Also, a little trick when running 2 amps to make it sound like 2 guitars is to have a very short, a few milliseconds, of delay on one. Makes a world of difference.

Also, make sure the speakers are in phase with each other. If it sounds kinda thin when you play through both, but a lot better through just one, the speakers are out of phase. A quick way to check this is to turn one amp around and play. If it sounds better than both facing the same way, the speakers are out of phase with each other. If not, you're fine

From a truly scientific standpoint all you're doing here is taking a mono signal and turning it into a stereo signal. This has no logical purpose really. Hosa makes a cable that takes a 1/4 mono signal and splits it out to two seperate 1/4 mono signals if you want to run two seperate amps. Or as other people have mentioned get a simple passive or active A/B/Y box.
On the other hand if you really want a real stereo guitar then the implementation of that would be a seperate signal coming from each pickup (assuming you have at least 2). This requires basic soldering and schematic readings skills.

Pin Jack Socket
If all you're after is stereo imaging for live performances a better solution would be a wet/dry/wet system where your main chunka chunka sound comes from a center head/cabinet and then a preamp output signal from that head is routed to some rack pre-amp/power amp set-up driving two panned cabinets. This combined with ping pong delays and other panning effects will achieve what I percieve to be your goal better than simply wiring a stereo jack to your guitar.
