How do you make displacement maps for characters and also for humanoid creatures here on Daz? Do I just make the skin textures grey scale? Also can anyone share their displacement maps here? It would help a lot of people :)

Displacement maps are not just grey scale skin textures.
A displacment map raises and lowers the visual edge on a mesh, so you have to paint them with that specifically in mind. The lighter grey raises details up and the darker grey lowers them down
As for 'sharing' them, unless a person made the texture from scratch without using ANY part of the existing textures, they wouldn't be able to do that, against the EULA
