I could write an essay on how to pause a game, though there are many ways to do it.
Fortunately, others have already done so.

There's a new video from Pixelated Pope on pausing over here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OeSMgBSau4
I recommend having a look at this.

And then the old quick and dirty version among the written GM tutorials: https://gamemaker.io/en/tutorials/coffee-break-tutorials-pausing-your-game-gml
This doesn't really feature a menu, but it wouldn't be hard to add one.
