I am a beginner in ROS. I wrote an urdf file and generated demo.launch with moveit setup assisient. When I roslaunch it, the following error occurred:

[ERROR] [1617752615.735037382]: Group 'arm' is not a chain

I'm going to guess it's "group 'arm' is not a chain".

Yes,but I'm afraid I can't upload my urdf and srdf because I have no 5 points

You do now, but it looks like you need to clean your workspace and check why your arm is not a chain. Most likely you included multiple fingers of a gripper.

Anyone can help me?

Did you try removing the inertia from the base link and fixing the other errors? It seems like your versions don't match or you are building parts of moveit from source but not others. I don't see anything obviously wrong in the SRDF/URDF, but a picture would help. I might also try removing the gripper chain and end effector from the SRDF for debugging.
