    my site has several index.html pages. i want to know if i create a xml sitemap and submit it to google webmasters then will it create any problem in myt site indexing or crawling.
    do these index.html pages create any problem or they are just treated as normal .html pages by crawlers like google ?

    several Index.html pages? Do you mean index.html in different folders? Are you using .htaccess for .html?

    Can you give us more details so we can understand your doubt?

    it is like abc.com/xyz/index.html or abc.com/pqr/index.html like pages are existing in some sections so do they create any problem or they are just treated as normal .html pages by crawlers like google ?

    if i create a xml sitemap and submit to google webmasters then what will happen?

    Do you mean you have duplicate URLs like:

    example.com/myfolder/
    example.com/myfolder/index.html

    A1 Sitemap Generator will with default configuration assume the latter is a duplicate if both URLs return valid response codes. (And thus not include both in XML sitemap)

    Otherwise, if your XML sitemap contains both URLs, you will get a warning from Google
