So I think your issue here is the fact that the links to your pages start with capitol letters. (About.html and Contact.html)

The documentation is case sensitive, and so if the document is actually named: about.html, the system is correct in saying that the About.html document doesn't exist on the server.

Try this:

  <ul>
      <li><a href="index.html" >Portfolio</a></li>
      <li><a href="about.html">About</a></li>                         <!--not capitolized-->
      <li><a href="contact.html"class="selected">Contact</a></li>     <!--not capitolized-->
    </ul>

I hope this helps!!!

(PS if someone answers your question and it helps, get in the habit of giving those around you an "upvote" or even "Best Answer" if it applies. It makes them feel good, and you'll find you need them (upvotes and Best Answers) later on, and also -others may return the favor!!! )

I agree with Joshua's response. You should check that the filenames match. So, if you're linking to Contact.html in your html file, there must be a file named "Contact.html". Remember that "Contact.html" and "contact.html" are not the same.
