Is there a reason why I can’t select the flash mode?

Yes. The built-in flash on most EOS bodies (and all entry level) is auto ETTL only.

Do I need to hook up an external flash so I recognizes it so I can click on the flash mode?

Yes, assuming it's a model compatible with the EOS flash menu. Older models (pre-2007) of Canon EX and third party aren't.  If they're ETTL, they'll work, just have to make settings using the buttons/controls on the speedlite rather than in-camera.
