Sorry, I'm so confused. Can you explain more? Why can't I use "There was crowded." ?

We don't describe places by using there plus adjective.
You could say it was crowded there. Or, it was crowded. But not 'there was crowded'.
(would you want to say about a trip to the Alps that 'there was cold' or 'there was hilly? No, it was cold or it was hilly).

So, you mean:
(a) It was crowded (with many people). (is correct?)
When should I use "there was ..."?

"It was crowded" is fine - it tells you that there were many people.
When should I use "there was ..."?
There were many people in the supermarket
There was a crowd at the entrance to the supermarket
There was no-one to help the lost boy.
