The problem is with the post method. use $_POST instead of $POST

You have mysql error
Not: $username'
but '$username'
And next time display mysql errors with mysql_error().

At the beginning, I am not sure what isset($_POST['submit'] should return, but as already mentioned in the comments you missed a single quote.
Additionaly i would use:
$password = password_hash($_POST['password'],
md5 is deprecated and thus not safe. If you write a login script you can use password_verify(plainPW, hashPW)
You also need to specify a database and login into it. I recommend to look at the W3 Schools examples they are very in-depth and have good examples. W3 school mysqli page
also write a die() at the end of your script and do not foregt to close the connection.
