Try just turning it on without going into clone mode. Then tell chirp to connect. If the radio is supported by chirp and your drivers are correct it should connect.
Your first action after connecting is to download an image from the radio.

I have tried everything in the instructions and cannot get
Chirp to communicate with the radio. As per the instructions, you
turn the radio off, connect the USB cable, then turn on the radio while
holding down the F/W key which puts the radio in CLONE mode which
shows on the display. Then, you hit the band key and it tries to communicate
with the radio. At first, it looks like it will work but after about 20 seconds
ERROR appears in the display. I followed the instructions just as shown
when you start the process, but always get the ERROR message. Just
wondering if anyone has had success with the VX-3? WHat am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
