This sounds like a school assignment?
I think I would:
Start by drawing a sketch of what I want.
Then I'd 'play turtle' (pretending I'm the turtle and walking through what I
would do to make the shape I want.
I would record the 'steps' I go through doing the shape.
I'd then type the steps into the computer as turtle commands. (Hint: I'd
make a procedure so I won't have to keep typing the same commands over and
over)
Next I'd run the procedure.
Did it work? No?
Time to go back and retrace my 'steps' where the error occurred and edit the
procedure until I have what I want...
Did it work? Yes?
Proudly turn it in for my teacher to see...
 
Good luck.

Hi, i was wondering if you could please send me a command 
of how to draw a spider web when clicking on a turtle.  
That would be excellent if you could please do that for me, 
Thanks
