Make sure you have specifed templates in settings like below

   

     TEMPLATES = [
            {
                "BACKEND": "django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates",
                "DIRS": [BASE_DIR / 'templates'],
                "APP_DIRS": True,

and make sure you have all also mentioned your app in INSTALLED_APPS in settings, and also keep you all html files in templates folder
