Hi,
you got the syntax of "If" wrong. This works:
result={};
For[i=1,i<=6,i++,
     For[j=i+1,j<=6,j++,
       If[lst[[i]]==lst[[j]],result={i,j};Break[]]]
     ];
result
Concerning the While loop, the logic is wrong. This works:
result = {};
i = 0;
While[++i <= 6,
     j = i;
     While[++j <= 6, If[lst[[i]] == lst[[j]], result = {i, j}; Break[]]
       ]
     ];
result
