As many times mentioned, you can read how to share network connection here:
if it wont help, let us know.
just type
sudo apt-install hostapd
Then you can configure pass and name of SSID as you want at /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf. but you must at least have a hotspot-able wifi-chip(wifi-card) on your motherboard. Vender like Broadcom(in my case bit old Machintosh) doesn't have the one, so not in use as hotspot but simply as accessing other wifis. you can google a list of which vender's wifi-card can be used as hotspot(^O^)Y just check your wifi vender ID by typing in my case
lspci -vnn -d 14e4:
or
sudo lshw -C network
Secondly, fix Interface by typing sudo vi /etc/network/interface or if you are on newer version like Ubuntu 18.04, type
sudo vi /etc/netplan/01-network-manager-all.yaml
then
sudo systemctl enable systemd-network.service
next, need to stop /etc/network/interface(NetworkManager), by typing
sudo systemctl disable networking
check if interface is properly working, type
sudo systemctl is-enabled systemd-networkd.service
and (enable) should appear if all good. then, type
rfkill list all
if you get error saying ....soft blocked..., type
rfkill unblock wifi
then,type
sudo ip link set wlp2s0 up
then, check the interface name for wifi, by typing
ifconfig -a
the name allocated to your wifi interface is(mostly wlp2s0 not those like ens7 or enther9...) then finally type
sudo netplan apply
(oUo)Y----have fun !!!!
