By cloning Y from X you made X to be a parent of Y while you need vice versa. To fix this add Y as a remote to X and set up tracking for you master branch.

By the way, in such cases you'd better write commands you've executed, and the error report you've got. " I see the error message but I do not know which git command can fix that problem" - this is zero of useful information.
