Text files are displayed as-is. You can't use advanced formatting -- you will have to convert to azw3 first. Then insert page-breaks by editing the book with calibre's Edit Book feature (shortcut key is "T") and "Split File" (see screenshot) to create chapter breaks. In ebooks, a new file = pagebreak, and it is the recommended way to format a new chapter.
While you're at it, you
may want to take the opportunity to tweak the files for all kinds of fun stuff! Use the code <h1>Chapter Name</h1> to set headings saying "Chapter Name", (and create ToCs based on them), bold stuff, add paragraph indents, and more! There are many guides out there to writing html code.
