I have observed couple of things..
1) Create view statement in above code is not complete. You need to add a WHERE clause and semicolon(;) at the end of create statement.
2) CREATE statement is a DDL (Data Definition Language) statement and you do not need to write COMMIT after it.

I'm not sure why you'd want/need to create a view from within a procedure, but I believe you need to use dynamic SQL. For example:

SQL

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE create_view is
PRAGMA AUTONOMOUS_TRANSACTION;

BEGIN
execute immediate 'CREATE VIEW just1 AS SELECT 1 as col1 from dual';
END;

Then execute it:

SQL

BEGIN
  username.CREATE_VIEW;
END;

Then the view will exist.
