You have a few nested select and form tags in there that can be removed. Try something like this:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>HTML Forms</title>
  </head>
  <body>

    <form action="index.html" method="post">
      <h1>Shirt Order Form</h1>
      <select id="color" name="shirt_color">
        <option value="Red">red</option>
        <option value="Yellow">yellow</option>
        <option value="Purple">purple</option>
        <option value="Blue">blue</option>
        <option value="Green">green</option>
        <option value="Orange">orange</option>
      </select>
    </form>

  </body>
</html>

The original code had two close form tags and only one open.
