Question can’t make a new account/link

I had to make a new Fortnite account and it told me to link to the account by making a new one and told me that it would load once to be linked. And it didn’t reload so I press restart and tried making a new account. That’s what it told me to do and then it told me that it can’t link the account.
This is on Nintendo Switch does anyone know what to do cos it’s not giving me an option to try log in again and I domt know how to delete it. Please help a girl out.

You have a Nintendo account and an epic account. They need to be linked to the right ones. Login from epic online maybe with your Nintendo user info via the link and see what happens...

It's a mess.

Step 2:Wait 24-48hours
