But if I use the 50mm lens the lens looks clear and the pictures are cleared too? Why my 300mm lens is dark and telling me that the subject are too dark?
My D3400 looks dark and takes dark pictures with 300mm lens

Try setting your aperture to it maximum aperture. Turn off the camera and take the lens off. Look through the lens and see if the aperture is small, or if it is wide open. If it is small, then the aperture mechanism isn't working properly. It could either be an internal fault in the lens, or possibly a dirty/faulty connector on the lens. You could try carefully cleaning the connection pins on the lens and see if that remedies the situation.

I tried it with both of my lenses and I don't see a change

It is
Nikon DX AF-P NIKKOR 70-300mm 1: 4.5-6.3GED
135
I also notice that if I use the live view it will take the pictures but if I try to use the eye view it doesn't take pictures.

Do you have access to another Nikon camera to try this lens out on?

Mirror stuck? Maybe even mirror-up mode (MUP) turned on by accident? That is a mode that requires you to push the shutter button once to raise the mirror, then push a 2nd time to take the photo. It is intended to eliminate shake from the mirror slapping up on a tripod long exposure.
