Welcome to the ODK community, @Tinkamwesigile!
Google Sheets integration is something we need to do a better job documenting, but for Google Sheets, you need to create a blank Google Sheet to host data submissions from Collect, then copy that URL into the submission_url section of the XLSForm.
You can read some (a little outdated) instructions here:
