My vent is stuck on floor position and heater control assembly wont switch to dash were do i start to fix problem on 83 cutlass supreme

The thing to do is check for vacuum leaks. In the engine bay look for any "hoses" coming from the firewall. These are for the heater contols. If any of these are broke? Replace them . Have you installed a after market radio? Sometimes heater controlls get messed up. I would take the radio out and examine the heater controlls.

91 oldsmobile cutlass supreme heater core replacement

Cores come in 2 general design locations--in dash and under hood. Both are replaceable but the dash tends to be more problematic as it may include removing the entire dash assembly. under-hood may require opening up the air conditioner system to access the air plenum. Search Youtube for "how to" videos to get a good idea of knowledge and skills required.

The shop manual is available from auto part supply stores for around $30 and in some public libraries. You may have a split or lose hose and not the core itself. Suggest you first rent borrow or buy a remote inspection camera to locate exact leak location.
