Try this website and more specific the templates from SCORE.
The SCORE organization will also provide with coaching, face to face. (Assumed you are in the USA.)

I don’t know about any websites that will help you but perhaps you can talk to someone in the kind of business you’re interested in starting. I’m sure there are many small business owners who would be happy to give you some pointers and tell you their own stories.

You can’t find your business plan online. At best, you can find a template. You will still need to flesh out your market research, your sales plan, product plans, financials.

You should probably start by reading up on the elements of a business plan

Then look at some sample business plans which would be specific to your chosen industry

After you have the format decided on, you have to put “pen to paper”, or more likely, fingers to keyboard. Come up with your five year plan for profitability being very honest about the expected costs and challenges like competition and visibility.

Good luck with your venture!
