why my own package does not in the GOROOT

I am a beginner at GO, and try to run my first project. And I have the problem to import my own package. I create go project under go/src. And the file structure is below:

- projectName
     - function
       - utils
          helper.go( package utils)
   main.go(package main)

And I want to import utils in the main

import (
    "projectName/function/utils"
)

Give me the error that could not import projectName/function/utils (cannot find package "projectName/function/utils" in any of /usr/local/go/src/projectName/function/utils (from $GOROOT) /Users/myUser/go/src/projectName/function/utils (from $GOPATH)

And I created the project exactly under /Users/myUser/go/src/ folder. More information: go.mod is created under /Users/myUser/go/src/projectName And the content is:

module projectName


go 1.16

if I run "go mod tidy", it will throw the error:

projectName imports
        projectName/function/utils: package projectName/function/utils is not in GOROOT (/usr/local/go/src/projectName/function/utils)

Once you create a new project, please run go mod init projectName, otherwise, you can't import the package. Please don't skip this step.
