There are two ways to get your images into your gallery; you can upload your files or add them from your media library
Uploading Files: Upload the image you want to use from your computer by dragging it into the upload area.
Adding from Media Library: Select from any previously uploaded images.

Create Gallery screen in the media library with images selected

After clicking on create gallery you select the pictures you would like to add in your gallery.
Once your images are selected you can add captions to them then Insert Gallery

On the right side the block editor will show allowing you to edit the look of the gallery and after that you will publish or update your changes.
