AMS1117 doesn't work, what do I need to do? When I start to power the ESP32-S3(it happens only when I use Vin. For supply I use 9v), AMS1117 starts to heat up until the green light on the board lights up, the chip itself starts to heat up, after which I hastily stop powering it. What should I do?
Does the AMS1117 starts to heat up when you only have the USB lead plugged in ?
Wiring error.
it happens only when I use Vin. For supply I use 9v
So you have other stuff connected.
Could be a problem with what you have connected and how its wired up.
Maybe show us a schematic.
I was incorrect, if you power it via USB, it gets hot with the chip, but not so much. About 33 degrees(increasing at 13 degrees)
That
Asking you for a schematic is asking you to document what you've done. Quite often, along the way to a schematic, the poster will realize what they've done wrong. Taking pictures of what you've done wrong is often not useful, because tracing your wiring visually is fraught with errors - if in fact we can even see where they all go.

an old envelope, a pen, and a photo of the result is all it takes.
Instead of Uno, I have ESP32-S3, I am bad at writing circuits by hand, so I made it in Tinkercad. I almost always made them on a breadboard right away.
Update:
You apparently are equally bad at Tinkercad. Give pencil and paper a try.

Truer words were never spoken!
Trying to run a motor by dropping 4V in the regulator without a heat sink is testing the thermal shutdown feature.
I think second photo is pretty good in updated version, isnβt it?
It's an improved Tinkercad showing how to connect a breadboard but useless as a schematic diagram.
If you intend to learn anything about electronic circuit design you will have to learn how to communicate in the language of schematic diagrams.
This is an example of a partial schematic diagram done in KiCad, a free program.
It shows how the various electronic parts are connected electrically and is essential to understanding how a circuit works.
The Tinkercad drawing that you show is useful for demonstrating how you could prototype your circuit on a solderless breadboard but has to be redrawn into a schematic in order to show what it is electronically. If you have made a mistake designing the circuit, it is evident from looking at the schematic. If you have just miss-wired it then a picture of your breadboard would show that. I hope you understand the difference.

I just checked, the chip heats up even when I just connect the Esp32-S3 to 9V, everything heats up and blinks, I even burned my finger
Now esp32 does not work properly at all and even heating up when I connecting it to USB-C. So @EmilyJane this problem was not caused by motors and so on.
