I just crafted a weapon in Fallout Shelter, but it says I can't collect it because my inventory is full. Just built a storage room, but still can't collect. Any help?

Their storage is directly tied to the number of rooms that produce them you have. Each room will increase the storage.
They are Not affected by the 'storage' room or upgrading the rooms that produce them.
This information can be read in the in-game guide on page 16 (Storage)
You got that message because you don't have enough storage capacity left in your vault to hold the items your dweller is bringing back from the field.
In this situation, you have two options:
Increase storage of your vault by building more storage rooms and/or by upgrading any existing storage rooms you already have.
Sell some of the items the dweller brought to you before you bring them back into the vault.
To determine how much more storage capacity you need, just click the dweller who has returned and look at the items they are carrying. The items with a red badge (background color) are the items that won't fit into the vault. The ones with a green badge will fit in the vault (see picture below).
As you buy more storage, you'll notice that more items will turn green. Once all items are green, you can hit the collect button and bring your dweller and all the items they are carrying inside the vault.
Although you can bring all the items inside your vault, you don't have to. You can also sell some less valuable items before the dweller gets in. You can select items for sale by clicking on them. Once you click on an item, they will turn into their value in caps. You'll also notice that more items turn green as you select them for sale. See picture below. You can revert the selection by clicking on them again.
I had exactly the same problem the first time I got a dweller back from a long trip: bought 3 storage rooms to fit all the stuff. That's probably because it's not very intuitive that you can sell the items before you tap one of them. But the extra storage ended up being useful anyway.
Best Answer
If you just built your first storage room, then perhaps you still don't have space.
You can open your storage from the Pip-Boy menu. It's the icon that looks like one box stacked on two others.
Once you open your storage, look at the "Storage Space" at the bottom. Mine says 90/145. This means I can hold 145 items, and I currently have 90, so I have room for 55 more. If the number on the left is not smaller than the one on the left, you'll need more space.
You can get more space by selling things in your inventory or building more storage. You can extend your storage room, build another storage room, or upgrade it.
