Talk about a vague question!

Can you link us to the existing site?

If you'll explain in a bit more detail, you're likely to get some answers.

You don't create your website layout to match your existing links!!! What that's suppose to mean? Huh..?

Web Layout = CSS

Skin are your site graphic elements, color, layout, etc..
CSS have nothing to do with your site's function. Just use the same id name, class name, table name, etc...

Okay let's start with what you know.
Do you know HTML and CSS?
If not, go to the relevant sections to get resources for learning.
If you do, go to cssmania.com and get some inspiration for your design.

I agree with ALex, learn first HTML and CSS. They are the basic foundation of web development. A lot of tutorials out there, try this: www.w3schools.com.
Hope it helps...
