The default folder is
winamp\skins.
Are you sure you downloaded the full version? If not, do so.
OTherwise, go to Ctrl + P --> Skins. Click the "set skins directory" button, and it will highlight the skins dir.
(the full version is not the paid version)

No. Those are the subfolders inside
Winamp\Skins\Winamp Modern

Basically, the Winamp Modern skin is already in an uncompressed state.

Most, if not all, other skins come in the form of .WAL (modern) or .WSZ (classic) files.
These are basically just renamed ZIP files.

You should place these files in the Winamp\Skins folder,
and not in any sub folder.

Though, as long as WAL and WSZ are correctly associated with winamp, then this whole process should be automatic when you click the "download" link.
What is your Windows OS and Internet Browser?
