 * What theme are you using? Where are you trying to create columns? If you’re editing
   your site through the editor in appearance you’re taking a huge risk of making
   your site go down.
 * If this is a production site I suggest migrating the site to a localhost and 
   then working on the theme files directly.
 * My suggestions:
 * 1) Google: MAMP WordPress Setup (follow tutorials)
    2) Use All In One Migration
   plugin to migrate site to local setup 3) Build a child theme. (Any changes you
   make to a theme will be overridden when that theme receives updates for security
   or general enhancements. If you want to make sure your changes stay intact you
   need a child theme. A quick Google search for how to create a WordPress child
   theme should do the trick.
 * This might seem like a bunch of steps before diagnosing the actual issue but 
   you want to make sure you’re set up the right way so you’re not kicking yourself
   later.
 * If your issue is with a theme not working that you purchased somewhere, contact
   the author of the theme and let them know you’re having issues.
 * I know this doesn’t exactly answer your question but if you clarify exactly what
   you’re trying to do I could try to help you out further.
