It means that you haven't
PAID FOR RHEL, so you are not entitled to ANY updates/patches that a subscription gets you. You have two choices here: call Red Hat support, pay for a license (I believe a student/personal license may be only $99), or load CentOS instead which is FREE, but 99.x% identical. Also, you're using 6.3, which is an older version of RHEL, the current is 6.5.
That said, the screen-shot you posted say VERY CLEARLY that they're for CentOS 6.3, so saying that you need Red Hat is a lie. Also, those instructions need to be taken with a grain of salt...they are poorly written, and contain some very questionable things, like TOTALLY DISABLING selinux.

I really need help here ASAP because i need to do presentation for my project next week and my progress for this project almost nothing.

This is a volunteer forum...as such, there is nothing here that is urgent for anyone, and asking for/expecting 'ASAP' help is fairly rude. We volunteer our time. If you need 'urgent/ASAP' help, then call Red Hat support.
