Answer 1

I invite you to read this article Absolute and Relative Paths

Then we pass to your code:

<link rel="stylesheets" type="text/css" href="/styles.css">

Should be :

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css">

Your styles.css should be in the same folder as your html file.

To verify that you have an error , check Console of your browser,you will be noticed that your file doesn't exist(404 error).

An other way to make your css working is to integrate it inside your page without separation:

Example:

 <style type='text/css'>

    body {
        background-color:#CCCCCC;
   }

    h1 {
        color:#0000EE;
    }
</style>

Answer 2

Make sure style.css is in your root web directory since that is where you are calling it from
