I'm not sure what was wrong. I am guessing that I didn't have my python path setup properly in .vscode\settings.json

{
    "python.pythonPath": ".venv\\Scripts\\python.exe"
}

or forgot to activate my virtual environment:

.\.venv\Scripts\activate

See https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/environments

Anyways, I went through the steps to setup the project again and it is working. Thank you!
