I am pretty now to Valheim, and every single time I go to get copper, I get attacked. I don't really know how to get by, or even kill trolls in general. Can anyone help me?

basically use bow, bows are pretty much the only real viable weapon in this game for big dudes its really annoying

They're actually fairly easy to melee, with a max bronze shield or better, once you figure out parrying (and dodge roll.) Bows are certainly safer, but take longer to kill them.

Bronze shields have the highest parry bonus of any shield, which makes them equal to iron but can be gotten earlier. Make one, practice parry with a grey dwarf brute (imo the best parry trainers) and then decide if melee or bow works best for you.
