Hi,
When you get "Couldn't find your Google account", it means that your account no longer exists. The main cause is that you deleted it or you set your account to be automatically deleted in the Inactive Account Manager. It is also possible that Google disabled your account due to a violation of their policies.
Now, if you try to recreate the account with the same username, you'll get "That username is taken" because usernames can't be reused. Once a username is used, it will be marked as "taken" and the record will be kept even if the account was deleted.
Unfortunately, I can only suggest you to check again that you're entering the correct username. If you've any doubts, try using Google's username recovery page.
Good luck
