Earlier, I had disc utility app and it was showing me all what it can do. After el Capitan, today I checked the same app but this time, i could not find how to make a partition, or format my external disc.

If you still can't find the program, do a backup, preferable 2 separate ones on 2 drives. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option/alt key during a restart) and select Recovery Volume. Run Disk Utility and select First Aid. Then re-install the OS.
