Can I suggest instead of that app, you use the travel planner on the Transport for London website? You'll get a much more accurate indication of timings and if you use the address of your destination it will also factor in walking time from the station.

I have a question um what if i want to go back to liverpool after the concert from euston station to lime street is it possible i can go home?? The concert end like an hour and 15 min

It's expecting you to teleport to the correct platform instantaneously. I believe this is a bad journey selection. No time to change platforms.

As others have mentioned, Trainline has this weird habit of making it seem like Tube travel is going to take you all the way up until your next train is due
Unless your ticket conditions specify that you have to take that route for some reason (discounts, zone 1 underground ticket only?) - then you're better off just using Google maps when you get to Euston
If you open up the maps app and put O2 as the destination, it will show exactly which way is the best way to go on the day and will continue to work in offline mode once you're underground
Likelihood is it will say Northern line to London Bridge, Jubilee line to North Greenwich

Where in Greenwich are you trying to get to?
If it's near the O2 you'd want to get the Jubilee line from London Bridge to North Greenwich.
If it's the town centre, the route you've got is probably fine.
If it's the uni, the route you've got is fine, then just take the DLR one stop to Cutty Sark from Greenwich.

The 02 cuz im going to watch a concert

That's easy then - North Greenwich tube is where the O2 is. Northern line from Euston to London Bridge, then 4 stops on the Jubilee to North Greenwich.
Greenwich main line station (where the app is telling you to go) is a bit of a hike from there.

You have to take the Tube from Euston to London Bridge station.
And hope to get to London Bridge by 5.01pm to get the Greenwich train.
Cutting it very close, perhaps get the next one?

Trainline has a weird design when it comes to tube journeys. It doesn’t know how long they take so it gives the entire gap between leaving Euston and leaving London Bridge as the travel time. It’s not as long as Trainline implies in reality, but it’s ridiculously confusing because it suggests it will take every minute you have spare to connect.

It’s saying that you need to get the Tube from Euston to London Bridge. According to Citymapper (which is a great app to use for navigation, but you can’t use it to buy tickets) you should take a Southbound Northern line (black coloured line) train towards Morden, which will get you to London Bridge tube station after 6 stops.
The Tube will take around 15 minutes, not 35 like Trainline implies. Trainline has no idea how long Tube journeys take so it just gives the entire gap between getting on the Tube and getting on your train from London Bridge as your travel time, which is wrong and very confusing. You will have plenty of time to get the 5:01 train if you leave Euston at 4:28.
The next stage is to leave the Tube station section of London Bridge and go to the train station section, which is in the same building and clearly signposted, so you shouldn’t have trouble finding it. You then want to find out which platform your train to Greenwich leaves from by looking at the departure boards. Trainline estimate it will be platform 1, but double check to make sure. Your train goes all the way to Cannon Street and will show up as the 5:01 to Cannon Street in bold and have the stops including Greenwich listed below.

It's saying to get the underground from Euston to London Bridge, then a train from London Bridge to Greenwich.
I have no idea why it's saying that. If that's the entire journey, then get the Northern Line (Bank Branch) underground from Euston to Bank, then the DLR to Greenwich.

Euston and Greenwich are on different lines. You need to change trains. That is one option for doing so, and presumably the quickest.
At Euston head into the Underground and follow the signs for the Northern line (the one marked in black). You'll want platform 6, southbound to catch a train for Morden via Bank. Get off at London Bridge underground station, and follow the signs up to the National Rail station to catch a train operated by Southeastern to Greenwich.

Get the tube form Euston to Bridge, then a south eastern rail train from Bridge to Greenwich.
