Many of the problems seem to be explained by the error message.
Which of the errors don't you understand?

C:\Users\Hamza\Pictures\CalcGUIPanel.java:63: array required, but java.lang.String found
cStack.push(buttonOrder);
^

What is buttonOrder? An array or ???
C:\Users\Hamza\Pictures\CalcGUIPanel.java:213: currentValue is already defined in actionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent)
BigInteger currentValue = new BigInteger(cStack.pop());
^

Remove one of the definitions of currentValue
C:\Users\Hamza\Pictures\CalcGUIPanel.java:215: operator + cannot be applied to java.math.BigInteger,java.math.BigInteger
resultValue += currentValue;

You need to use a method with objects. The + operator is for primitives.

The rest of the errors are repeats of the earlier ones.

A suggestion: Compile your program more often as you type it in. You have over 300 lines of code here. You should have started compiling when you had 50 lines and fixed the errors as you went along. Don't wait.
