what's wrong

you need to add a button element inside a form element

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

    <form action="index.html" method="post">

    <input type="text" id="name" name="user_name">

   <textarea id="comment" name="user_comment">
     <button> Sumbit Comment </button>


  </body>
</html>

You are missing a closing form tag and a button tag like this 

<input type="button" id="submit" name="submit">

You should never use a button tag in a form
