try this

<form action="#" method="POST" name="my-form">
  <input type="text" name="Username" value="Hello World">
</form>

the input elements should have name attributes for identity along with the value attribute.

Seems like your not closing the form tag. Try this.

      <form action="#" method="POST" name="my-form">
        <input type="text" name="Username">
        <input type="text" value="Hello World">
      </form>
