maybe it’s a very stupid question but I’m just getting into wordpress and I installed a plugin Google XML Sitemaps and activated it, but I’m not quite sure that it really provides me with sitemap.xml how can I check that?
when I go to mywebsite.com/sitemap.xml
I can see site map information, so I guess it works?

Yes. Then it works. Add a new post and see if it changes.
You can submit your sitemap to search engines but they will eventually pick it up regardless. Just give it time to see results — it’s not instant.
Use Google Console
https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/sitemap-list to make sure it’s getting picked up.
