My question is how can I transform this code into a responsive site. Everything is resizing normally, except I cannot seem to resize my table and form. Could somebody help me?

A few things going on here.
First, you don't have a set width on a few of your fields, so change:
fieldset{
border: 0px dotted red;
width: 400px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
to:
fieldset{
border: 0px dotted red;
width: 400px;
margin: 0 auto;
max-width: 100%;
}
Also change .headerbar from width: 988px; to width: 100%;.
For responsive frameworks, you need to ensure that you never have a set a fixed width without ensuring there is a max-width attached to it, otherwise your content size will never drop below the size of your fixed width.
Second, I noticed the following:
.leftbar{
width: 50%;
background: #EB593C;
min-height: 605px;
float: left;
border-radius: 4px;
border: 3px dashed #282827;
}
You didn't specifically call this out, but when I check your code in a smaller view, I notice that your width: 50%; is causing the backgrounds to look off, which does not seem to be your intention. I would recommend adding .leftbar { width: 100%; } as well as .rightbar { width: 100%; } inside of @media screen and (max-width:700px){
That just leaves the table. Tables do not automatically break down, so are generally not something we want to use when developing a responsive site, but of course sometimes there is no getting around this.
There are a few ways to tackle the issue with the table. One is to set the table to display:block; and apply overflow-x: scroll; to it inside of your @media screen and (max-width:700px){, which will allow the user to scroll left/right when viewing it from smaller screens. Another is to use one of the various Javascript plugins that can achieve this.
Hope this helps get you on the right track. Best of luck!

Do not set width for these
input,select{/*width: 400px;*/}
fieldset{/*width: 400px;*/}
If you are setting width obviously you cannot obtain a responsive layout
