        {
            char simbolis;
            int k;
            int x;
            int a = 0;
            Console.Write("iveskite norima kieki: ");
            k = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
            Console.Write("iveskite simboliu kieki eiluteje: ");
            x = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
            Console.Write("Įveskite spausdinamą simbolį: ");
            simbolis = (char)Console.Read();
            a = k / x;
            int b = k % x;
            for (int i = 1; i <= a; i++)
            {
                for (int j = 1; j<=x; j++)
                {
                        Console.Write(simbolis);
                }
                Console.WriteLine();
            }
            if ( b > 0)
            {
                Console.Write(simbolis);
            }

    }
}

Your main loop will only do the first line, as it goes from 1 to 1. You need to add 1 to a if the value in b is non-zero. Using sensible names for your variables rather than single letters would help to make that clearer. Also, on the last line j should go from 1 to b rather than 1 to x.

Try writing the steps down on paper to get a better idea of what needs to be done.
