Your model is a sheet metal body without bends. You do have bend line locations in your sketch but you did not define the actual bends. The video will explain. Using the Bend command is not the best method for creating new sheet metal bodies. It is since you already had a pre-sketched body but if beginning a new sheet metal body, it is best to use the Flange command. I did a brief demonstration at the end of the video.

If you are going to continue using Fusion 360 and hope to "succeed" in your work, you MUST start completely constraining and dimensioning your sketches. In this case the outside bend would not work because one of your sketch lines was not horizontal to the rest of the model. I only added the required sketch constraints, but you should go back and fully constrain your sketch. Model is attached.
