Hello! Thank you for taking the time to write a report. First things first, how did you make both portals.
Nether portals should be made out of obsidian and have a shape like this (Head on view X = obsidian and O = air)
XXXX
XOOX
XOOX
XXXX
Then simply light the two bottom pieces with flint and steel (If you find that you need a better/more in depth explanation please look here: https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Nether_portal )
End portals on the other hand, they are a whole other ball game. To construct one (in creative) you must be standing inside the portal while you are making it. Also it should have a shape like this (Top-down view X = end portal frame and O = air.)
OXXXO
XOOOX
XOOOX
XOOOX
OXXXO
After that, fill in the empty end portal frames with eyes of ender (not ender pearls) and you should have a portal. (If you need a better/more in depth explanation please look here: https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/End_portal )
If all of that fails please let me know and provide videos/pictures of your process. Thank you in advance. your input helps us catch bugs! I hope I could help! 🙂
P.S. I may have messed up on some of my details, I strongly urge you to check those links if you still experience and issue.
