Get a lawyer immediately. Representing yourself is a terrible idea. Knowing you need a motion to suppress isn't enough; you also need to know how to do it. There's no way to teach you that here. A lawyer will know how to do it.

Get a lawyer. You have absolutely no legitimate reason to represent yourself. In criminal law, if you cannot afford an attorney, the court appoints one for you.
