You can skip a challenge (or any course page) by clicking on the next circle on the bar that goes across the top of the page. The current page is represented by the circle with the ring around it.

If you're on the very last circle, you can skip to the next stage by going back to the course index using the link at the top left (above the bar with the circles). From there, you can go directly to any page in the course.

But it looks like your issue here might just be that the select element is missing the closing tag. It should have one after the last option and before the closing form tag.
