They should automatically get created when you switch to them. However, remember that
F1 is GDM and F2 is your user session, so the first available console is F3. Sometimes
it takes a few seconds for it to start up, but it should be there.
FWIW, that isn't true on my system.
ctl-alt-F2 brings up a VC just fine. F1 is my GUI/KDE session. I run SDDM as my Display
Manager. I suppose things can be different if using GDM. If I get the time I'll
switch
to GDM on a system to check this out.
