下个星期(xià ge xīng qī) literally means “the week below.” By the same token, 上个星期(shàng ge xīng qī )
literally means “the week above.” The measure word 个 can be omitted: 下个星期=下星期；上个星期=上星期. “Last/next
month” is 上个月/下个月(shàng ge yuè/xià ge yuè).However, we don`t say “上月/下月”
To help you remember, envision a calendar. Next week/month is below(下,xià) this week/month; last
week/month is above (上,shàng)
this week/month.

2.我有事儿，得去学校。
   wǒ yǒu shìr，děi qù xué xiào 。

1
The negative form of 得(děi,must) is 不用(bú yòng,need not) or 不必(bú bì, need not). not 不得(bú děi).
Therefore, the correct way to say “ You don`t have to go to the library” in Chinese is A, not B:
The Modal Verb得(děi,must)
A:你不用去图书馆。     or        你不必去图书馆。
    nǐ bú yòng qù tú shū guǎn      nǐ bú bì qù tú shū guǎn
B:你不得去图书馆。
