yes it is a problem, basically you need one lens that will magnify the image and a second lens to resolve the magnified image. 2 lenses the same won't work.
your best bet is to search for an atm (amateur telescope maker) site and get more info.

Yes, that's a problem. You can't make a telescope simply by putting together two existing convex lenses...it's far more complicated than that.
