I have created an ACL rule in WLC where the goal is:
ip source: 10.20.116.0 / 255.255.255.0
dest: 10.0.0.0 / 255.0.0.0 (deny)
as I show like this.
the current result is,
dest to 10.20.111.240 (example) deny/reject
but the problem is that access to the internet (http and https) is also not possible.
what I need is ip source 10.20.116.0 dest http,https (internet) is permit
is there something wrong with the rule I created?

Use protocol any. You never know when the traffic towards internet will be TCP or UDP and DNS also use both TCP and UDP.

For traffic to internet leave protocol and port as any. If you use TCP and HTTP/HTTPS, you are going to permit internet access only to web page, which is not correct.
leave protocol and port as any.

ok, so for sequence 2-3 I delete the tcp and udp protocols? leave protocol and port as any, so that internet traffic runs?

Correct

I've tried it and the result is,
ping to google dns 8.8.8.8 works (permit)
ping to internal access 10.x.x.x (deny) - works
but, internet access is still not running even though the result of pinging google dns 8.8.8.8 works.

You have no DNS response.
You need to check you DNS. What you can do for testing is manually config 8.8.8.8 as DNS on your machine
