I want to have a group G = Sym(4) x Sym(4). I try this to define G: " G = CartesianProduct([SymmetricGroup(4)] , [SymmetricGroup(4)]) " Thank you for help.

I would try this:

sage: H = SymmetricGroup(4)
sage: G = H.direct_product(H)[0]

Then G will be represented as permutations of 1, 2, ..., 8. H.direct_product(H) is a tuple, the first entry of which is the actual direct product; the other entries give inclusions of the two factors into the product and projections, likewise.
