Google website allow only .xml sitemap format. So create you sitemap in .xml and then submit in Google Webmaster Tool then you will never face any issue.

In Webmaster Tool you can't add HTML Sitemap, In that you can add only XML Sitemap. So please change and upload. XML Sitemap is very important for a website.

You are trying to submit an HTML sitemap instead of an XML which a webmaster tool will accept. Also HTML sitemap is for users and not spiders. So if you don't have an XML sitemap you can generate it manually of with various sitemap generators present. Then name the file as sitemap.xml and save it. The open your webmaster account and upload your file there.

Thanks
