Just a note...
Shorter way of doing this is just by saying

cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("createdon", DateTime.Now);

You didn't tell us which SQLParameter caused the error. I did notice, though, that you did not convert the date to DateTime format before putting it into the SQLParameter.

SqlParameter datetime = new SqlParameter("@datetime", SqlDbType.DateTime);
datetime.Value = DateTime.Parse(lblDatetime.Text);
cmd.Parameters.Add(datetime);

Note: My example does no error checking. It is possible that the user enters a date in an incorrect format. You should have error checking to prevent that.

I also found where you were assigning a DateTime type value to a VarChar type. I corrected that by changing the parameter type to DateTime.

SqlParameter createdon = new SqlParameter("@createdon", SqlDbType.DateTime, 50);
    createdon.Value = DateTime.Now;
    cmd.Parameters.Add(createdon);
