Next, if switching between chords is the problem, then do nothing but switch between chords. Focus on the physical motion required. Don't strum the chords, don't play them in time, don't try to make a song out of them. Don't wander to other things. Just pick a few sets of chords & practice switching between them.
Finally, if you've only been playing for 1 week, then be patient with yourself & try to enjoy the process. Your mind & fingers can only learn & gain physical skill so quickly. Forcing it won't help.
Let us know how it goes & have fun. :)
