[Python] Django forms.py and Join.html not rendering form errors

I have seen many tutorials on this, (I am new to Django) and the only issue I could find was raise form.Validation("...") was not rendering on my HTML template and did not stop the form from submitting.

I tried many options including AI yet I was still running into the same problems. If I have made a silly mistake please point it out so I know for next time, this code is just a project of mine so I can learn how to code Django.

HTML:

<form id="form" action="" method="post" name="form">
{% csrf_token %}
<div class="input-control">
{% if form.non_field_errors %}
<div class="error">{{ form.non_field_errors }}</div>
{% endif %}

{% if form.errors %}
<div class="error">{{ form.errors }}</div>
{% endif %}

<div class="username">
<label for="{{ form.username.id_for_label }}" class="label">{{ form.username.label }}</label>
{{ form.username }} <!-- Render the input field -->
{% for error in form.username.errors %}
<div class="error">{{ error }}</div>
{% endfor %}
</div>

<div class="email">
<label for="{{ form.email.id_for_label }}" class="lemail">{{ form.email.label }}</label>
{{ form.email }}
{% for error in form.email.errors %}
<div class="error">{{ error }}</div>
{% endfor %}
</div>

<div class="password">
<label for="{{ form.password.id_for_label }}" class="label">{{ form.password.label }}</label>
{{ form.password }}
{% for error in form.password.errors %}
<div class="error">{{ error }}</div>
{% endfor %}
</div>

<div class="repassword">
<label for="{{ form.repassword.id_for_label }}" class="label">{{ form.repassword.label }}</label>
{{ form.repassword }}
{% for error in form.repassword.errors %}
<div class="error">{{ error }}</div>
{% endfor %}
</div>

<button id="nextButton" class="nextButton" type="submit">
<span class="material-symbols-outlined">arrow_circle_right</span>
</button>
</div>
</form>
