What do you mean by "space" your notes?
The application has certain settings for notes that place them appropriate distances apart, in order to not have notes colliding. If you add lyrics (as you have), then the same aspect of the program separates the notes farther apart, since words are normally longer (right to left) than individual notes. (To test this, type a very long word, ignoring syllabication, under a single note: it will gain more space before and behind it.)
To learn how this works--and how to control it--see https://musescore.org/en/handbook/4/formatting. Also look at the effects of the tools on the Layout palette. For example, using the System Break tool from the Layout palette to force fewer measures on a system than the app is putting stretches all the measures (and thus the notes) farther apart.
