And I have installed the create-react-app version of 5.0.10 Please help me I m stuck in this... Cra is creating the main error I think

I didn't look into this in depth but at a glance there does currently seem to be quite a few issues with CRA regarding compatibility with node 18. What I would recommend is to use Vite instead to build your apps, it's faster and often preferred over CRA nowadays.
