Hi May, TextEdit has two formatting modes: plain text and rich text format, and you can switch between them from the Format menu on the menu bar, or by using the shortcut key combination, Command-Shift-T, to toggle between plain text and rich text or vice versa. Automatic double spacing is only supported in rich text format, which is where the ruler appears that has the paragraph and line spacing button, and which is also the only mode that supports style file selections. Your file is using plain text formatting.
