I am trying to create a polygon feature from an enclosed line feature using the Geometry Tool: Lines to Polygons. When I do this, I get several spikes with the newly created polygon. I then run the "Check Geometry Validity" tool and it notes that I have about seven duplicate nodes. I am trying to delete the duplicate node using the Edit tools: Node Tool, select the node, but have not been successful with deleting the extra (or duplicate) node. I was told to use Fn + Delete on the keyboard (Mac OS), but nothing seems to happen. Please tell me the best way to get rid of these duplicate nodes.

Use the select tool (either select by rectangle or select by polygon) to select the features you want to delete. Then you can delete all of them by hitting the delete button on the tool bar.
