I created a shapefile in QGIS but I am not able to open it in ArcGIS Desktop. It keeps saying open failed, error opening feature class. I saved it as an ESRI shapefile when creating it.
I am using ArcMap 10.6.1 and QGIS 2.18.
How do I resolve this?

If you created it in QGIS, why not continue working in QGIS? Also, you could try saving it in a different format using QGIS:

Can you show us details of the files that make up the Shapefile - ie the .shp, the .shx, and the .dbf and any other files? On Windows, show a screengrab of the folder view with details such as the size of the files. If possible share your shapefile with us somehow. Also, try saving as another format, such as a GeoPackage (if your Arc can read GeoPackages)

A shapefile is not a single file -- It is a collection of at least three, as many as dozens of files with the same prefix and different suffixes. When you state "They are both .shp" it gives the impression that the .dbf and .shx are missing (and .prj, ...). This is why you are being asked to list the files and their sizes.

This is a long shot (I don't use ArcGIS), but is the shapefile still open in QGIS? I don't know whether ArcGIS tries to write anything to the shapefile when it opens it, but might there be a permissions issue here?
If so, try closing QGIS. Does ArcGIS still generate an error?
Other things you could try:
Copy the Shapefile to another location. Does that version open in ArcGIS?
Run Fix Geometries on your Shapefile in QGIS, then retry in ArcGIS.
