Oracle is certainly right.
Reread documentation.
Copy and paste your SQL*Plus session.
Format it with code tags.
Format your query with indentation, use SQL Formatter for instance.

You an either use INSERT... VALUES(...) to insert a single row, or INSERT...SELECT... to insert multiple rows - the two syntax cannot be combined.

INSERT

Just remove the VALUES clause from your current SQL.

Should also point out that there is a Multiple table insert in oracle but that's not what you're trying to use.
Multiple table insert inserts into multiple tables.
Getting the terminology right will get you answers faster.
