You should use FindFirstChild.

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	plr.Chatted:Connect(function(msg)
		local args = msg:split(" ")
		local plruser = args[2]
		local user = game.Players:FindFirstChild(plruser)
		
		if args[1] == "-award" and plr:GetRankInGroup(33075577) >= 228 then
			if user and user:FindFirstChild("leaderstats") and user.leaderstats:FindFirstChild("Exp") then
				local currentValue = user.leaderstats.Exp.Value
				local fields = {
					{
						['name'] = "Info",
						['value'] = "User: " .. plr.Name .. "\nRank: **" .. plr:GetRoleInGroup(33075577) .. "**",
						['inline'] = true
					},
					{
						['name'] = "Award Info",
						['value'] = "User Awarded " .. user.Name .. "\nNow has **" .. currentValue .. "** EXP."
					}
				}
				
				currentValue += script.Parent.Variables.Awards.AwardToGive.Value
				print(" --[ Awards ]-- ")
				print("     Gave "..user.Name.. " "..script.Parent.Variables.Awards.AwardToGive.Value)
				print(" --[ Awards ]-- ")
				user:LoadCharacter()
				ws:createEmbed(url, "WARN", "This is published on 30/10/2023 11:08 pm by **RobloxSupp515**", fields)
			else
				print("Failed to award player, is it a correct user?")
			end
		end
	end)
end)

i just changed the part where
if user and user:FindFirstChild("leaderstats")

but i got ServerScriptService.Cmds.Award:21: attempt to concatenate nil with string

#4

try using WaitForChild() instead of FindFirstChild() as the object you’re attempting to access may not exist yet

#5

if user already checks if it exists

#6

can you show where line 21 is pls
