Nikon Coolpix l820 refusing to focus?

Just trying to get some good pictures of the Blood Moon, but it will not focus. When I do get it to a point where it doesn't look terrible, and I get my little green box, the picture comes out so blurry you can't even tell what it is. And the shutter lag is ridiculous, like two seconds between Press and shoot. I don't know if it's just because I'm zoomed in so far or what. Is there anything in the settings that can help me out?
Added (1). In reference to what Jonathan said. I took it inside and tried to take a picture of a dreamcatcher in full light, it focuses okay, but when I take the picture you can't even see the individual strings/webs.
Added (2). Okay so now I just tried, and when I focus it looks like a gorgeous picture. But the shutter lag is still forever, when I actually take the picture its like there's three of whatever I'm taking a picture of very close together. I don't have a tripod or anything I'm just free handing it but I can't be shaking that much can I?
