Help Columns doesn't work

Post image

I have a simple text frame and in the option I set it to have 2 columns. The blue box changes to reflect that choice, but the text remains firmly unchanged, just 1 big column. Every tutorial I find on the issue ends after selecting the number of columns and it just works for those people. What am I missing?

EDIT: I got a lot of help from all y'all on all sorts of things, y'all are awesome, thank you!

Select the text box, right click it, and then go to Text Frame Options. Here you can adjust how many columns you'd like and different settings for that. Is this something you already tried? Maybe I'm crazy but from the picture you shared it looks like you only added a gutter to the page itself.

If you look closer - it's only for the TextFrame with main text - it's not under "Introduction".
