You are not logged in.
I have created new account , but when i tried to login it I get that pop up message
Unable to load a failsafe session (xfce zorin lite), the main account and the root account work good without that error
Unable to determine failsafe session name. Possible causes xconfd isn't running (D-Bus setup problem);
environment variable $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS is set incorrectly (must include "/etc") or xfce4-session is installed incorrectly.
(xfce zorin lite)

This is just a warning that a failsafe session doesn't exist. One will be created on first use. Interesting that you got a popup message though - usually its just logged into a log file.

How did you create the new account?
How are you logging in? Display manger (e.g. lightdm) or xinit?
Is there an ~/.xsession-errors file for the new account that you could share?

i created it by gui app(users and groups),
but when i create anthor one by commandline useradd passwd , i get acount with loop login, may that because replacing the xfce4panel that i did before, but i didn't have that problem with root , or the my main account?

What command did you use, and what parameters? Can you post back the full command?

You didn't specify to make a home directory for the new user. Have a look at:
man useradd
...specifically the "-m" parameter.
You would need to use something like:
sudo useradd -m -s SHELL -G GROUP USERNAME
...where:
- SHELL is the path to the shell you want to use (e.g. /bin/bash)
- GROUP is the name of any additional groups you want this user to be part of (e.g. sudo)
- USERNAME is the new username
So to make a new user who is able to run admin commands using sudo:
sudo useradd -m -s /bin/bash -G sudo toz

it doesn't worked with me i still get the gui message box:
Unable to determine failsafe session name. Possible causes xconfd isn't running (D-Bus setup problem);
environment variable $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS is set incorrectly (must include "/etc") or xfce4-session is installed incorrectly.
i think in reinstalling my distro, thank u very much
