Sounds like you need help learning how to use CSS stylesheets with HTML docs.
Here are a few websites to get you started (Google is your friend):

The application of CSS rules doesn't "just happen". Your HTML file needs to include a link to the CSS file so that the browser knows it has to download and apply the CSS. Your HTML markup needs to use the elements, ids and classes that the CSS file contains the rules for.
There should be an example HTML file to go with the CSS file -- you need to look at that HTML to see what's being used, and modify your own HTML to suit. Since we don't know what's in either of those files, we can't help by guessing.

Hi canister,
As per essellar's reply (and I thought obvious if you had read at least the first link I provided), you need the HTML to inform the browser it uses the CSS template. As mentioned, this is a two step process:
1.) the HTML must link to the CSS in the <head> section, e.g.: <link rel="stylesheet" href="mystyle.css">
2.) the HTML may need to use special classes/ids depending on how that CSS template was designed (not all CSS will apply to the elements globally)
You really need a better background and understanding on how HTML works with CSS and for that you need to do a bit of reading yourself (no one can really help you unless you help yourself to learn more first and then come back with quite specific issues that we might be able to help you with).
Recommend reading through some of those links I previously posted (esp. at least the first one).
Good luck.

There are a few issues with W3Schools' coverage of web technologies. Their section on CSS isn't so bad, but you may be tempted to turn to W3Schools for others as well. You'd be better served by starting with a site that has good information on all topics that it covers.
There are many, many others. As always, it's best to search for them yourself. Knowing how to find information is just as if not more important than knowing the information.
