1 made: To 'make one's bed' is to tidy up or arrange one's bed. This construction is formed with the verb 'to make'. The present perfect tense (which uses the past participle form of the verb, 'made') is used because Sarah's mother doesn't know when exactly the bed was made, if it all.
2 made: To 'make a mess' is to bring disorder to an orderly place, or to make a clean place dirty. 'A mess' describes a disorderly or dirty person, place or thing. This construction requires the verb 'to make'. We use the present perfect tense (which uses the past participle form of the verb, 'made') because this action occurred at an unknown or unspecified point in the past.
3 done: In English, one 'does the housework'. We use the verb 'to do' to form this construction. 'To do the housework' is to clean up around the house: sweeping, vacuuming, dusting, etc. We use the present perfect tense here following the auxiliary construction 'I've' (I have). Using this tense suggests that Sarah's mother did the housework at an unspecified time in the past.
4 making: 'To make a fuss' is to cause a disturbance, a commotion or even to protest or object to something. For example: 'Every time we ask Sarah to clean her room she makes a fuss.' Sarah is telling her mother that she's overreacting to the disorder in her room. This construction is formed with the verb 'to make'. We use the progressive form of the verb 'to make' to describe the continuous action of Sarah's mother, who is in the process of 'making a fuss'. When used in the imperative voice, the command 'stop' is followed by the progressive form of another verb.
