You have clearly made a mistake, check:

  1. that your style.css is in a folder called theme-name-child
  2. ensure this folder is at the same level as the parent theme folder
  3. ensure you have the correct comments in your style.css and most importantly Template: parent theme name
  4. Finally when testing make sure your CSS is an obvious change, something like body {background: red !important;}
