I saw.

Try booting into Safe Mode, then double-click on the "Install macOS Catalina" file that should be in the Applications folder.

I have tried everything. I don’t know what is wrong with my MacBook. I try to get help from a friend who also knows about macOS but he also could not figure out why it wasn’t working.
