I have to two in USA for two weeks , if not please advise me if I’m doing any wrong on the visa . If there way I can renew my visa awhile in USA TOO advise me .thanks

a visa is a device with which to ask permission to be admitted..the validity date defines that period of being able to ask for permission...it has nothing to do with the period of admission, which is given (or not) by our border folks......no one is given 6 months automatically every time they show up at our doorstep...but as long as you travel to the US before the 15th, you will fine for asking to be admitted...and no, one cannot renew a tourist visa from within the US.

Thank you for your reply . Which means I’m in safe side and I have nothing to worry about for two weeks even after my visa stamps expires

Thank
you

That's right. You can even enter on October 15 itself, and still should be admitted for months.
