Collapsible component not working in form

Experimenting with having a collapsible item within a form group but it's not working. Upon clicking the collapse buttons nothing happens, even though I directly copy & pasted the code from Bootstraps website. Not sure why it's not working. I've even tried commenting out all of my CSS to see if that would solve the issue but it didn't help. Please assist

A bit late, but:

1- Collapsible components use JS so you need to add the required scripts for them to work. You should add them before the closing body tag

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.3.1.slim.min.js" integrity="sha384-q8i/X+965DzO0rT7abK41JStQIAqVgRVzpbzo5smXKp4YfRvH+8abtTE1Pi6jizo" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/popper.js/1.14.3/umd/popper.min.js" integrity="sha384-ZMP7rVo3mIykV+2+9J3UJ46jBk0WLaUAdn689aCwoqbBJiSnjAK/l8WvCWPIPm49" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
<script src="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.1.3/js/bootstrap.min.js" integrity="sha384-ChfqqxuZUCnJSK3+MXmPNIyE6ZbWh2IMqE241rYiqJxyMiZ6OW/JmZQ5stwEULTy" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>

2- You have (had?) several errors in your code, a few elements don't have closing tags and some are nested incorrectly.
