Alice, welcome to ft! If you haven't already, why don't you sign up for a program? In the meantime, you can go to the main menu, then choose ft Exercise Resources, then choose Muscle Targeting. Choose the muscle group and you'll see all of ft's exercises listed.

Good luck...

I've been signed up for a few months now. In my workout (free weights) it has me doing pull ups. What should I do instead?

It is going to be rough to mimic chin ups with just free weights. The only thing you will be able to do work on the thickness of the lat and your lower back but maybe someone will comeup with come thing. Goto Kmart or somewhere and buy one that you can but in your door way.
