Looks like connection problem with display. To be checked/changed - address, pin-out, polarity,…
This is what I would look for first…
It probably because you still have the module plugged into the programmer. These programmers will pull GPIO0 low to enable programming.
You will need to get wifi logging working, unplug from the programmer and try again.
The wiring diagram is as follows:
GND: Ground (PIN 09)
VCC: 3.3V (PIN 01)
SDA: GPIO2 (PIN 03)
SCL: GPIO3 (PIN 05)
Something in the logs caught my attention! VCC: It says NO. This place was going to be YES?

Excuse me! I don’t understand. How do i get it out of the programmer?
The thing with the yellow socket.
An ESP01 is really not the simplest thing to start with putting a display on. A D1 mini or similar with built in USB would have been a better choice.
In your initial screen shot you had SDA on GPIO0. In the latest iteration you have it on GPIO2.
The trouble with the ESP01 is that you have limited pins available. Pins 2 and 3 are all used by the serial programmer. You can use them for other things but you will come across issues if you leave it plugged in. You need to unplug it or at least get wifi logging working then turn off serial logging as it uses some of the pins you are trying to use for display.
A simpler idea? Buy something like this to play with until you are more familiar with ESPs:

Or if this is all you have got, go back to using the pins from the original post, unplug from yellow socket and apply external power to the ESP.
