"createdb" is a shell/command-line application and not something you run
inside of psql.

Since the "postgres" database is created for you how about you try some of
the following while logged into that database.

CREATE DATABASE newdatabase;
CREATE TABLE testtable (id serial, content text);
INSERT INTO testtable (content) VALUES ('test content');
UPDATE testtable SET content = 'newcontent';
DELETE FROM testtable;

Also, when you say "will not perform" - it has to be telling you something
when you attempt to run something.  You should provide exactly what it is
you tried to run and the exact response that you were given.
