This seems wrong. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

I followed @Rich's suggestion and I was able to download the package and install it which I wasn't able to do before, but I've found that I still don't have access to a lot of the commands that I should like arp or diskutil just to name two that I've encountered recently.

Install them from here. You must be a registered developer.

Other solution is: in xcode click Xcode>Open Developer Tool>More Developer Tools

This should then take you to a link which will require a developer Apple ID sign in. From there, you'll be redirected after authenticating to https://developer.apple.com/download/more/ where you can manually download and install the Command Line Tools.
