I want to create a drop down button that opens additional drop down menus based on the item selected in the first drop down. Please help.

Using Acrobat DC on Windows 10. Super Ultra Novice here.

Not sure if layers is the right term, but I want to create a drop down with 20 options, each option, if selected should lead to a new option, and then another. In most cases it should be 5 layers deep. IS this possible without using outside tools? I know nothing of Javascript and have been watching tutorials all day trying to figure this out.

Is there a Javascript pre made template out there somewhere that I could use as a starting point?

It's not really layers, no. I call it "Cascading Dropdowns", and I have developed a tool (written in pure Acrobat JavaScript) that allows you to easily set it up, if you have the data available in a spreadsheet.
