The commands which you tried are not compatible with GNU Nano.

Try these:-
Saving a file: Hold control and press O ^O or F3
Exit the program: Hold control and press X ^X


You can get help by holding control and G ^G.

GNU Nano really gives big-time headache for the first time users. (i am a victim already)
if its ok, you can edit it using vi editor itself(i mean crontab -e will start the edit using vi editor, i think)
