In the card game Magic The Gathering what does counter target spell and counter target creature spell mean?

I've been playing this game and I have a card that says counter target spell, what does it mean?

I also have a creature that's ability is counter target creature spell, what does that mean?

I would appreciate if someone could help me.

"Counter target spell" means to prevent a spell from being cast. Typically it means that immediately after the person playing the spell card announces that they're playing it, but before the spell resolves, you can play your card to stop theirs. The spell that is "countered" goes to the graveyard.

(A "spell" card is any card other than a land. "Target" mostly means you have to pick a particular spell - it doesn't affect all spells, just one. And "counter" is the process of canceling their spell. You can only counter a spell as it's being played, you can't wait a turn and try to counter it later.)

"Counter target creature spell" means the same thing, but it only affects "creature spells". A "creature spell" is a card that represents a creature. However, it only counts as a spell from when it's announced to when it actually comes into play. Once it's in play, it's no longer a spell, so again, you can't wait till a later turn to counter it. If a creature spell is countered, the card goes to the graveyard without ever actually coming into play.

The comprehensive rulebook has some more detailed timing rules that specify exactly when you can and can't counter something, but my summary above should handle most game situations.
