You've added one fieldset round the Name and Email section. You then need to add another one around the comment section. Then use the <legend> tags like this:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>HTML Forms</title>
  </head>
  <body>

    <form action="index.html" method="post">
      <label for="name">Name:</label>
      <input type="text" id="name" name="user_name">
      <label for="email">Email:</label>
      <input type="email" id="email" name="user_email">
      <label for="comment">Comment:</label>
      <textarea id="comment" name="user_comment"></textarea>
      <button type="submit">Submit Comment</button>
    </form>

  </body>
</html>
 <form action="index.html" method="post">
      <fieldset>
      <legend>Tell us about yourself</legend> 
        <label for="name">Name:</label>
        <input type="text" id="name" name="user_name">
        <label for="email">Email:</label>
        <input type="email" id="email" name="user_email">
      </fieldset>
      <fieldset>
      <legend>What's on your mind</legend> 
        <label for="comment">Comment:</label>
        <textarea id="comment" name="user_comment"></textarea>
        <button type="submit">Submit Comment</button>
   </fieldset>
  </form>
