Redirect is not working

I was doing the exercises of the video but when the redirect function is not working for me, is there any error in my code?

from flask import Flask, render_template, redirect, url_for

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/')
def aaa():
    return render_template('index.html')

@app.route('/save', methods=['POST'])
def save():
    return redirect(url_for('index'))

app.run(debug=True, host='0.0.0.0', port=8000)
{% extends "layout.html" %}
{% block content %}
<!--Enter Name -->
<div class="enter-name">
    <div class="grid-100">
        <img src="http://justcuteanimals.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/cute-brown-bear-cub-pictures-cutness-sweet-animal-pics.jpg" class="bear-avatar" />
    </div>
    <div class="grid-100">
        <form action="{{url_for('save')}}" method="POST">

            <label>Name your bear</label>
            <input type="text" name="name" value="" autofocus>
            <input type="submit" value="Let's build it!">
        </form>
    </div>
</div>
{% endblock %}

url_for('index') is looking for an app.route-decorated function named "index". Change the function named "aaa" to "index" or use url_for('aaa')
