I wired up 4 new double gang boxes for a fish room I’m building. On the first double gang box in the fish room I tied into an existing outlet on the same wall that faces opposite for the room on the other side of the wall. I then wired the outlet that shares the double gang box with the gfci. I made sure everything was wired correctly. (Line and load terminals). And then continued the wiring for the next 6 outlets. With the breaker back on the gfci led light is on but the gfci outlet doesn’t work but all the other outlets down the line do work. I tried resetting the the gfci, installing a different gfci, and double checked all the wiring. What would be causing this?
GFCI not working. Other receptacles do
gfci

Short answer, pigtail the GFCI on both hot and neutral side. Do not attempt to daisychain any other outlets off the "load" side of the GFCI.
I'm guessing one of the red/white pairs is the line (from the panel), and the other set is a feeder to the rest of the circuit. You'll have to determine which set is the feeder from the panel, and where the other set goes and whether or not you want to GFCI protect it.
If this is true, you should connect them both to the line side hot terminal of this device as well.

Move all wires to LINE
Placing any wires on LOAD is incorrect unless you have a very specific reason to do that.
"I have more wires to attach and don't know where else to put them" is not a specific reason.
If the GFCI fails with all wires on LINE, then the GFCI is defective.
If you have a specific reason to use LOAD, then attach the LINE wires first, stop and checkpoint your work, assure that the GFCI works in all respects. Then attach LOAD.
