Whenever I use the fill bucket on the second layer it does not work. But on the first layer it does. This issue is extremely frustrating, can anyone help? (I'm also new to animation)

kglad is correct here. If you hide your first layer you'll see how your 2nd layer drawing has a huge open end. If you want to draw and fill like this, keep it all on 1 layer. Otherwise, close all shape/line art before using the Bucket tool. Or, use the Brush tool and the Paint Behind Sub-selection to draw your fill color behind the outline color and then fill it.
