Hi,
Your external drive is not seen as a bootable drive because it has no OS on it.
If all the files on the external drive are on your MB, clone to the external drive (I recommend getting an external HD as they are more dependable) using Carbon Copy Cloner: https://bombich.com/kb/ccc4/i-have-full-volume-backup-in-folder-or-disk-image-i- dont-have-bootable-backup.-how-can-i, try out your bootable flash drive to make sure it works properly and has all your files on it, then erase and format your MB and clone back to it.
