Cannot redefine sections style with titlesec

Question

I've been asked to use a given format for a paper and I have to use the following format for sections:

being size of the paragraph text 10pt and that of the section 11pt. I also have to reduce, respect to that of LaTeX, the spacing between the paragraph and the section title and change the enumeration to roman numbers.
I have tried to make it with titleformat command but I could not reach the desired style. I hope you can help me! Thank you!

Given the information you provide, this is what I can answer
documentclass[10pt]{article}
usepackage{lipsum}
usepackage{titlesec}
usepackage{indentfirst}
DeclareRobustCommand{makesc}[1]{textsc{#1}}

newlength{mylength}
setlength{mylength}{theparindent}

titleformat{section}[hang]
  {fontsize{11}{13}selectfont}
  {makebox[mylength][l]{Roman{section}.}}
  {0pt}
  {makesc}
titlespacing{section}{0pt}{baselineskip}{.3baselineskip}

begin{document}
 
 section{Lorem Ipsum}
 lipsum[1]

section{Lorem Ipsum}
 lipsum[1]
 
end{document}

which gives:
