Your post array contains item with the name of your input fields . This will work

<!DOCTYPE html>
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
$Name = "Username:".$_POST['name']."
";
$Pass = "Password:".$_POST['pwd']."
";

$file=fopen("saved.txt", "a");
fwrite($file, $Name);
fwrite($file, $Pass,);
echo fwrite($file,"*************************",);
fclose($file);
}
?>
<html>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
    $('.check').click(function() {
        $('.check').not(this).prop('checked', false);
    });
});
</script>
<BODY>

<form action = "post.php" method="POST">

    <p>
        <label>Login Name:</label><input type = "text"  name = "name" /><br>

<input type="checkbox" type = "password"  name="pwd" class="check" value="male"> Male
<input type="checkbox" type = "password"  name="pwd" class="check" value="female"> Female
<input type="checkbox" type = "password"  name="pwd" class="check" value="other"> Other

        <br/>
        <br/>
    </p>
    <input type = "submit" name="submit" id = "submit" value = "submit"/>
    <input type = "reset"  id = "reset" value = "reset"/>
</form>
</BODY>
</html>

You will first have to understand how the form works.

You ask for Post-Data of $_POST["username"] and $_POST["password"]. Those "Names" are defined by the "name"-Attribute of the corresponding Input. So to get a username you will have to have an Input like <input type="text" name="username" />.

Look now at your own HTML: You have defined an Input for the users name, but it has the Attribute name="name". This will result in the Post-Data being stored in $_POST["name"].

Also you only have one input, but ask for two values (username AND password).

As for your checkboxes I don't understand the reason their names are name="pwd[]", but you should probably change them too. You also specify two types but that second type="password" is not recognized.

Edit: I checked again and decided to completely rework your code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<?php
    if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
        $Name = "Username:".$_POST['username'];
        $gender = "Gender:".$_POST['gender'];
    
        $file=fopen("saved.txt", "a");
        fwrite($file, $Name);
        fwrite($file, $Pass);
        fwrite($file,"*************************");
        fclose($file);
    }
?>
<html>
<body>
    <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <script>
        $(document).ready(function(){
        $('.check').click(function() {
            $('.check').not(this).prop('checked', false);
        });
    });
    </script>
    <form action = "post.php" method="POST">
        <p>
            <label>Login Name:</label><input type = "text"  name = "username" />
            <br>
            <input type="checkbox" name="gender" class="check" value="male"> Male
            <input type="checkbox" name="gender" class="check" value="female"> Female
            <input type="checkbox" name="gender" class="check" value="other"> Other
        <br/>
        <br/>
    </p>
    <input type = "submit" name="submit_btn" id = "submit" value = "submit"/>
    <input type = "reset"  id = "reset" value = "reset"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>
