You only have a 1-socket vSphere license, you cannot use that on 2 different hosts.

You need another vSphere license for the additional host, plus a vCenter Standard license for your vCenter Server.

Then you can deploy vCenter Server (use the VCSA), get it to manage both your hosts, create the cluster, enable it for HA and DRS, move both hosts into the cluster.
