Does anyone else have problems with their minecraft launchers? mine says it can't connect with minecraft.net
Yeah, you should be able to switch servers right now but not be able to login to the client. It's not EMC's fault, it's a problem with Mojang's servers and will probably be sorted pretty soon. While you wait for the servers to come back up, you can login and play via Minecraft.net. It's not ideal but it's currently the only way if you're not connected.
