After graduation, you can apply for a residence permit, which will be valid for one year, during which you can try to find a job or create your own company in Portugal compatible with your qualifications.

It will depend on the type of visa you currently have. However, if you have a residency visa for studying purposes (not a short term student visa), after graduation you may stay up to one year more, under the assumption that you are trying to find a job in the same area of the studies you have concluded. After that, if you are not employed, unfortunately, your residence permit will, most likely, not be renewed.
