How to get  the selected layers in the TOC (i.e. clicked via the mouse and is now highlighted)  with arcpy? thank you.

You could check them (uncheck the others you don't want) and then use the lyr.visible property to separate them.

aprx = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject(r'C:\.aprx')
m = aprx.listMaps("Map")[0]
checked_layers = [lyr for lyr in m.listLayers() if lyr.visible]

#for lyr in m.listLayers():
#    if lyr.visible:
#        arcpy.AddMessage(f"{lyr.name} is selected.")
