But since the definition of universe is everything an anythig that exist wouldnt the multiverse contradict it's self by stating that it is made up for multiple universes

The universe is everything that we can observe, yes. However, our observable universe is just one possibility that our universe could have taken. I tried to type it up in a way that made sense, but I realized that everything is so much more easily understood by a YouTube video where someone describes the 10 dimensions:

Ahh yes the string theory where our universes if only one of the many possible universes created from the big bang. Any all possibilities. I'm sorta novice at this and am looking for more info on it.
Regarding the 4th dimension were duration exist.. Does it infer that everything if happened at once/already has happened

Well, since we humans can only experience time as it flows in one direction, as far as we know, anything that happened has happened, and anything that has yet to happen has not yet happened. In order to experience the totality of existence, you have to exist outside of time (note: religious people think that God exists outside of time, so in God's eyes everything would have already happened, even though from our perspective we still have a long future that hasn't yet occurred).

So I guess to answer your question, I would say no. Our future hasn't happened yet, especially since we still have the ability to make choices. Every single choice we make changes the future (and in a way, splinters the universe because in an alternate universe, we would have made a different choice).

no, it would mean our definition of anything and everything is wrong. or we could expand our definition of enything and everything and call it universe again.
