 I try with "revoke all on schema PUBLIC FROM PUBLIC;", but after give GRANT SELECT user can't use SELECT. When I use "revoke CREATE on schema PUBLIC FROM PUBLIC;" and give GRANT SELECT user can use SELECT.

You have to revoke permissions from the _schema_, not from databases.
Say,

revoke all on schema PUBLIC FROM PUBLIC;
revoke all on schema PUBLIC FROM username;

You have to remove from PUBLIC because otherwise the user will still
have permissions to create via that privilege, even if you take his own
permission away (if he had one at all actually).
