You need to enable the openssl extension in the PHP configuration used by your terminal. Go to your php.ini file (for example: C:\tools\php83\php.ini), find the line with ;extension=openssl or ;extension=php_openssl.dll, remove the semicolon at the start, and then save the file. After that, open a new terminal window, run php -m to make sure openssl appears in the list, and then try creating your Laravel project again.
