Error message when I go to verify (error: expected ')' before ';' token)

Reconfirming the comments above, the issue resides in your use of the "while" condition; the condition referenced can be true or false.

example:
int x;
while (x < 5){
x++;
}

Anyhow, obviously you're new and trying figure out and build a foundation of learning; below is the only code you need:

void setup() {
  pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH);
  delay(500);  

  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW);
  delay(2000);
}
