Can you post some pics of the hitch and sway bar setup? How about a side picture of the rig parked on level ground from about 100 feet away to show if things are level.

While you may very well be over the weight rating of the truck, being overweight shouldn't cause the rig to sway. You say you are new at this, when you say "sway", do you mean the trailer constantly swings back and forth and feels like the tail wagging the dog?
There are an awful lot of variables left to check. What are the specs on the tires (truck and trailer)? How much air in them? How much does the tongue really weigh (need to get it weighed)? How is the WDH set up, what about the sway control?
IMO, a single friction sway control on a trailer that big and heavy is about worthless. You may need to step up to a dual cam setup.

I just put a picture of the rig on my profile. The picture is from Thursday when we signed papers on the TT.How can I upload additional pictures of the hitch set up on here?

Possible issues:
Too little tongue weight
P rated tires
Insufficient sway control
Insufficient truck payload
Incorrectly installed/adjusted WD system.

Lets start from the beginning with the trucks specs including powertrain (include motor size and rear gear, GVWR, payload, RAWR). Type/brand and rating of the hitch. Type (fricition or integrated)/brand of sway control devices. Model and listed specs of the TH (include the UVW, GVWR, listed tongue weight). It may or may not be possible to fix it. It would be of immense help if we could get a picture of the trailer hitched with a close up of the connection between the truck and trailer.
