Seems the most logical course of action before you have the resources to build an actual house.

I've restarted Terraria a bunch of times cause I've lost my save files so I've gotten pretty good at starting over. The first thing you gotta do is get some iron or gold or platinum and upgrade your pickaxe to dig faster. Then you can upgrade your sword and your armor. At first you don't need to go that deep, what you need to do is explore the surface and look for natural caverns with treasure chest in them and hopefully they'll have a couple of useful accessories in them. Stay away from the jungle and corrupted areas at at first and focus on exploring the normal forest and snow areas. You can get gold or platinum in those areas. After you upgrade your equipment a bit you can start exploring more dangerous areas.
Keep mining for ores until you at least complete a full set of armor of one specific ore because once you have a full set you'll get buff from it. Eventually the 1st monster will appear and come after you. He's a big floating eye so you'll need a bow or a gun or flail, any weapon with a mid range attack. It also helps if you create a wood platform in top of your house to fight him and put some bonfires in them to regenerate HP faster.
