Hi all!
I am trying to create the model in this video to learn about forms. At 17:30, he rotates the stem of the pumpkin using the Edit Form tool. However, when I do the same thing, it "twists" the model instead of rotating it. I've attached a screenshot and my model below. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I think you missed a step.
You shouldn't have any yellow faces in your selection. A yellow face means "implicitly selected due to symmetry." But in the tutorial (at least by 17:30), the model doesn't have any symmetry. Your model does! Do you see all the green lines running along the ridges of the pumpkin? Those are the matching symmetric pieces, and Fusion won't let you make any changes that break symmetry.
I think the tutorial told you to clear symmetry earlier, but you missed it. You need to turn off symmetry. After that, the rotation should work as you expect. As-is, it's only going to let you manipulate the stem in ways that perfectly preserve the stem's radial symmetry. Tipping it off-center does not.
Thanks for the help! Really appreciate your teaching. Once I do that and try to seal my surface with "Fill Hole" though, it doesn't allow me to finish because my body apparently self-intersects. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks!
There's no quick-and-easy way to fix a self-intersecting surface. There are a couple of tricks to help you untangle things, though:
Hopefully these tips will help you fix self-intersections in your surface.
