So, I tried to set up 2 supply lines, 1 from sanctuary to starlight and 1 from sanctuary to oberland, but neither of them have created. Theres no lines on my map telling me that the supply lines exist, but it wont let me send another settler to create a line. Am I missing a step, or is this a bug?

In order to set up a supply line you need to have the Local Leader perk and a spare settler. Enter Workshop mode and select the spare settler and press the highlighted button for Supply Line:
This provides you with a list of your eligible settlements to set up a supply line with:
All supply lines are visible from the map:
Your settlers at home can die. Note that once a 'settler' has been assigned to a supply route, they will be a 'provisioner' the next time they are loaded.
Provisioners who are away from a settlement can't die. The can get knocked down for a few seconds like other essential NPCs, but they get right back up. Currently, the closest I've observed this is at the Rotten Landfill (east and slightly north of the drive in).
It may be that:
a) Provisioners are just essential always
b) Provisioners who are outside a certain range of a settlement are essential, but can be killed when close to it.
or c) Provisioners who are outside a certain range of their home settlement and/or destination are essential, but can be killed when close to them.
Clearly, more testing is required, but given what I know about how the essential flag works, it's a pretty safe bet that provisioners are just essential all the time, and therefore can't be killed.

Best Answer
If you approached the settlers in workshop mode, pressed the "supply line" command and selected a settlement you didn't miss a step.
The assigned settler should immediatly get a fresh brahmin for all the stuff and make his way to the assigned settlement. Also, when looking at the map in your pip-boy, press "C" on the keyboard (or L1/LB on PS4/XBOX). This will show you all the established supply lines, so you can verify that you haven't clicked the wrong settlement by accident.
