Error loading data

Basically im trying to make it so when your data fully loads from datastoreservice then a billboardgui will appear over your head. But it’s not working, now it doesn’t even load data. How would I fix this?

code:

local success, errormessage = pcall(function()

		cashdata = myDataStore:GetAsync(player.userId.."-cash")
		agedata = myDataStore:GetAsync(player.userId.."-age")
		
	end)
	if success then
		
		cash.Value = cashdata
		age.Value = agedata
		
		clonedgui.TextLabel.Text = "Age: "..player.Stats.Age.Value
		clonedgui.Parent = game.Workspace:WaitForChild(player).Head
		
		
	else
		warn("Error retrieving data"..errormessage)
	end
end)

Full code:

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")

local myDataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("myDataStore")


local age = DataStoreService:GetAge()
local gui = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").GUIS.AgeB
local clonedgui = gui:Clone()


game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local Stats1 = Instance.new("Folder")
	Stats1.Name = "Stats"
	Stats1.Parent = player
	
	local cash = Instance.new("IntValue")
	cash.Name = "Cash"
	cash.Parent = Stats1
	
	local age = Instance.new("IntValue")
	age.Name = "Age"
	age.Parent = Stats1
	
	local warns = Instance.new("IntValue")
	warns.Name = "Warnings"
	warns.Parent = Stats1
	
	
	
	local cashdata
	local agedata
	
	warns.Changed:Connect(function()
		if warns.Value == 3 then
			player:Kick("3 warnings")
		end
	end)

	

	
	local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
		cashdata = myDataStore:GetAsync(player.userId.."-cash")
		agedata = myDataStore:GetAsync(player.userId.."-age")
		
	end)
	if success then
		
		cash.Value = cashdata
		age.Value = agedata
		
		clonedgui.TextLabel.Text = "Age: "..player.Stats.Age.Value
		clonedgui.Parent = game.Workspace:WaitForChild(player).Head
		
		
	else
		warn("Error retrieving data"..errormessage)
	end
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
	local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
		myDataStore:SetAsync(player.UserId.."-cash",player.Stats.Cash.Value)
		myDataStore:SetAsync(player.UserId.."-age",player.Stats.Age.Value)
	end)
	if success then
		print("Player Data has been successfully saved")
	else
		warn("Error saving Player Data"..errormessage)
	end
end)

Try using their character directly instead. You can get the character with player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait(). I don’t know how WaitForChild works with an instance, but I don’t think that it’d do what you wanted.
