I think you're missing your closing </a> on all three li's would be something like the following.

    <li>><a href="index.html"Portfolio</a></li>
    <li>><a href="about.html"About</a></li>
    <li>><a href="contact.html"Contact</a></li>

Your link tags are not closed.

<a href="index.html"Portfolio

for example needs to be closed on both sides;

<a href="index.html">Portfolio</a>

I believe you have forgotten to close your<a> tag and you have a missing</nav>tag as well, try the code below.

 <nav>
        <ul>
        <li><a href="index.html">Portfolio</a></li>
        <li><a href="about.html">About</a></li>
        <li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a></li>
       </ul>

      </nav>

There was also an extra > between li tag and the a tag. Hope this helps!
