<h3>Insertion des étape :</h3>
<form action="index.php" method="post">
<input type="number" name="quantity" id="quantity" min="1" max="5">
<div id="formcontainer">
</div>
<input type="submit" value="Valider">

jQuery(function($) {
$("#quantity").bind('keyup mouseup', function () {
var count = $('#quantity').val();
var htmlf = '';
for (i = 0; i < count; i++) {
htmlf += "<h5>Nom de l'étape</h5><br/>";
htmlf += '<input type="text" name="NomEtape_"'+i+' size="40" maxlength="40">';
htmlf += "<h5>Description de l'étape</h5><br/>";
htmlf += '<textarea name="DescriptionEtape_"'+i+' rows="8" cols="80"></textarea>';

Simple Just run the code and you can find yourself easy.

Right so it sounds like you want this form to update on page. For this you'll need to use JavaScript. PHP runs server side only, you want this to update on the client side.
Here is a quick example to get you on the right path. I am using jQuery which is a popular Javascript library.
var $group = $('form .group').clone();
$('[name="quantity"]').on('change input keyup cut paste', function() {
var quantity = parseInt($(this).val());
$('form .group').remove();
for (var i = 0; i < quantity; i++) {
$group.clone().insertBefore('form [type="submit"]');
}
});
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<h3>Insertion des étape :</h3>
<form action="InsertionEtape.php" method="post">
<input type="number" name="quantity" value="1" min="1" max="5">
<br>
<div class="group">
<h5>Nom de l'étape</h5>
<input type="text" name="NomEtape[]" size="40" maxlength="40">
<br>
<h5> Description de l'étape </h5>
<textarea name="DescriptionEtape[]" rows="8" cols="80"></textarea>
<br>
</div>
<input type="submit" value="Valider">
</form>

okey I changed to this but an error appeared,
<form action="InsertionEtape.php" method="post">
<input type="number" name="quantity" min="1" max="5">
<br>
<?php for ($i=0; $i < $_GET['quantity']; $i++) {
echo "<h5>Nom de l'étape</h5>";
echo "<input type=\"text\" name=\"NomEtape_".$i."\" size=\"40\" maxlength=\"40\"> <br>";
?>
<h5> Description de l'étape </h5>
<textarea name="DescriptionEtape" rows="8" cols="80"></textarea>
<br>
<br>
<input type="submit" value="Valider">
<?php
} ?>
</form>
