Answer 1

your wrong in file:
class SignUpForm(UserCreationForm):
class Meta:
fields = ('user_type','account_type','email', 'password1', 'password2')
model = CustomUser()
Fix to
class SignUpForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
fields = ('user_type','account_type','email', 'password1', 'password2')
model = CustomUser
Because model required one MODEL, you write CustomUser() mean callable object. Model CustomUser can't do it and raise exception
