First, use the new git switch command, not the old confusing git checkout one.

 git switch -c newBranch

Second, make sure you have a master branch to begin with, meaning git log --decorate --oneline --graph --all --branches shows at least one commit in the master branch.
Not "origin/master", but master.
You can list all branches with git branch -avv.

If you had zero commit in a newly initialized repository, then there would be no branch at all, as seen here.

The OP mat1 confirms in the comments:

I have made first push to remote repo, now it works.
Because I didn't have made initial commit and push , that is why I could not create branch.
