I need to learn about paper airplanes and flight.

A paper aeroplane is a toy gliding aircraft constructed from cellulose fiber paper, the making of such is generally believed to have originated, like paper, in ancient Asia. A paper fixed wing aircraft, generally un-powered, produces lift like any other fixed wing aircraft, by deflection of air downward after contact with a wing surface. For a simplified explanation of lift, see http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/k-12/airplane/lift1.html .
Simple folded paper aircraft generally suffer from poor gliding performance due to a high drag coefficient. They typically fly at velocities below their Critical Reynolds number.

What about the stabilities? I mean, like, how are they created for the plane?
