I need to create this part using sheet metal to be able to generate the flat pattern. The thickness is 12 Ga. My experience with sheet metal is not quite large yet. Please help!!
 
You will not be able to get a flat pattern from this using the Sheet Metal module. The part you show would involve material deformation (stretching & thinning) of the "rim" features. SW does not have that capability.
You will have to create a separate 'flat'.

Thanks, CBL. I was afraid of that.
 
I'll confirm what CBL said. It's true.
