I'm trying to make a mining turtle clear a Eleven by Eleven area but I can't figure out how to redo sections of code a number of time.

There's the pastebin of my code, what am I doing wrong here? Could someone please help me out here?

You really aren't doing anything wrong (minus the "end" on the last line that shouldn't be there), except digging in a spiral pattern is much more difficult than if you were digging in a zig-zag pattern.

local function digIfDetect()
	if turtle.detect() then turtle.dig() end
end

for i=1, 11 do
	for ii=1, 11 do
		digIfDetect()
		turtle.forward()
	end

	if i%2 == 0 then
		turtle.turnLeft()
		digIfDetect()
		turtle.forward()
		turtle.turnLeft()
	else
		turtle.turnRight()
		digIfDetect()
		turtle.forward()
		turtle.turnRight()
	end
end

The "digIfDetect()" part is only so that it doesn't try to dig empty blocks.
