When I'm playing F major, my high D, E and F notes sound horrible. I don't know why my sax sounds like that. Please help! Is it something I'm doing, or is it the sax itself...?

I mean when pressing the octave key. 🙂
The pearl white keys. 🙂 Apart from those I don't know! Sorry. Only four lessons in. :O

It does also depend on whether the same reed is used every single time, without a break, in which case it may wear out quite quickly. reeds are best rotated, and good to have a few on the go (I usually have 4 which I rotate so no reed gets played more than once every 4 days
I am very wary of starting ALL beginners on the same set-up as it is not actually possible to know in advance what is suitable for each beginner. Many trumpet teachers start their beginners on a Bach 7C (16.2mm) mouthpiece. Trouble is I found it far too small and found the Bach 1.5C (17.00mm) much better to start on. I now play a 17.5mm inner diameter mpc - much better.
The reed may not be an issue but I would always caution against making blanket assumptions...........
Kind regards
