How to resolve this troubles?
Answer:
A child theme is a theme that inherits the functionality and styling of another theme, called the parent theme. Child themes are the recommended way of modifying an existing theme.
The Child-name should be inherited from Parent-name. You should not re-name Parent theme when upload Child-theme, The child theme can’t find its parent. That is reason why your style.css is missing.
