Bootable macOS USB

So I made the bootable macOS USB for catalina, and restart my computer while holding the option button. Select download macOS catalina. The mac starts to startup but suddenly turns to a black screen. Is there any way to fix this?

iMac 21.5", macOS 10.14

Your Mac may be having hardware issues, then. Try running the Diagnostics.

Also try the Catalina installer on a different supported-with-Catalina Mac, too. See if it boots.
