Your screenshots don't show your Layers panel, but I suspect either you don't have a layer selected or you have a layer selected that isn't a raster layer such as a shape layer or a Smart Object.

Click the + button at the bottom of the Layers panel to make a new layer. Then you should be able to fill your selection.

@Cari35140126ha2w is the layer locked or a smart object? Take a screenshot (Shift+Cmd+3 on Mac) with the layers panel showing and post it.

ok it's working for some reason now? i used the regular ellipse tool instead of the marquee ellipse tool. i'm just gonna start using that instead of the marquee one. but what did i do wrong in the beginning? (i used ellipse 1 gaussian blur)

@Cari35140126ha2w What happens if you go to Edit>Fill or use the paint bucket icon directly below in the Contextual Task Bar?
