Quick glance: <form> <head></form></head> they are mixed. 

<head>
  <form>
  </form>
<head>

Also a reminder that your page content goes into the <body></body> tags and not in the <head></head> tags. Check HTML for beginners it's one of the first things you learn. 

<html>
 <head>
 <head>
 <body>
    <form>
    </form>
 </body>
</html>

You put spaghetti in a plate and then pour saus over it... Well same here: you don't put your spaghetti on the table and then put a plate on it and then pour saus over it.

Hope this helps,
