I use the pent tool to make a shape, then right click make a selection, I fill in the selection with the colour I want. Great perfect no problem.

Now say if I want to go to the stamp tool and work on a different area of the picture, the previous selection from the pen tool still exists, and I can't use the stamp tool. I cant seem to figure out how to get rid of the previous selection.

Just click inside the selection area with one of the selection tools. Alternatively, try Select > Deselect.

if there is any selections still Exist you can do without Deselect. Just Inverse the Selection using CMD+D in Mac And CTRL+D In Windows (or) select > deselect
