I am using VS code Latest Version(1.47.2) in Windows 7, and using two internal terminals. One is basic CMD and the other is python interactive shell. Auto completion isn't working in either terminal.

Also it does not suggest what am I writing like in workspace with Python or CSS file, which gives suggestion when I am typing a code.
I also installed python and code runner in vs Code.

So what is the problem and what are the possible solutions?

Because I am new to programming I want to learn Python.
So please help me with terminal auto completion because I am watching tutorials in which the instructor presses only TAB for automatic insertion, but when I press TAB in terminal, the cursor goes in about 6 spaces like in a normal text editor.

The instructor is probably using ipython, the default python terminal doesn't include auto completion.

This problem isn't connected to the fact you are using VScode. when you open a terminal of CMD/bash/python in VScode it just starts a process within itself.
VScode only help with auto completion in the editor panel.

Maybe this will help you: How do I add tab completion to the Python shell?
