When you go to Whiterun in the beginning of the game to speak to the jarl who starts the quest to slay your first dragon, the quest won't start and the jarl is always in the same place every time I go to Dragonsreach. I don't want to restart the game because I'm really high into the levels

The Jarl doesn't give you the quest. After visiting Bleak Falls Barrow for Farengar Secret-Fire (the court mage), and returning the stone tablet he requested, Irileth barges in on the conversation announcing that Whiterun is under attack. The first dragonslaying quest follows from that.
