.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
I installed ubuntu 16.04 with these settings
"Erase Disk and install Ubuntu" with "Use LVM with the new Ubuntu installation" checked
I have a 1tb hard drive and all that 1tb is now in the root partition excluding 4gb swap. How do I decrease the partition of root and make a new partition.

The first thing you should do is backup your most important data in case of a mistake. Then use the LVM resize commands.
You can find images of procedures on this link:
How to Extend/REduce LVM's in Linux - Part II
The actuall commands to reduce the size are:
resize2fs - Reduce a file-system
lvreduce - Reduce a Logical volume
For GUI you can try system-config-lvm from the Ubuntu repository.
You might consider installing Ubuntu on a Pen-drive. Boot to the pen-drive then install the LVM gui on that drive and manage your hard drive from that session.
