Is there a spherically symmetric metric that doesn't have a singularity in the middle of it(like the schwartzchild metric). Something like our planet.

Sure. That is the interior Schwarzschild solution. There is also FLRW. Also flat spacetime. And Oppenheimer-Snyder which starts out with no singularity but develops one later.

Newton's gravity force is proportional to distance from the center up to the Earth surface and dumps inverse square of distance outward. Together with OP I am interested in the corresponding formula in GR.
