module:

local function GetObjectCategory(Object)
	local Categories = {}
	Categories["3D Interfaces"] = {Name = "3D Interfaces", "ClickDetector","Decal","Dialog","DialogChoice","MaterialVaiant","ProximityPromt","SurfaceAppearance","Texture"}
	Categories["Adornments"] = {Name =  "Adornments",  "ArcHandles","BoxHandleAdornment","ConeHandleAdornment","CylinderHandleAdornment","Handles","ImageHandleAdornment","LineHandleAdornment","PathfindingLink"}
	
	for i, Category in pairs(Categories) do
		if table.find(Category, Object.ClassName) then
			return Category.Name
		end
	end
end




return GetObjectCategory()

script:

local getobjectcate = require(script.Parent.ModuleScript)

print(getobjectcate(game:GetService("TestService"):WaitForChild("ArcHandles")))

replace your module with this

module = {}

function module.GetObjectCategory(Object)
	local Categories = {}
	Categories["3D Interfaces"] = {Name = "3D Interfaces", "ClickDetector","Decal","Dialog","DialogChoice","MaterialVaiant","ProximityPromt","SurfaceAppearance","Texture"}
	Categories["Adornments"] = {Name =  "Adornments",  "ArcHandles","BoxHandleAdornment","ConeHandleAdornment","CylinderHandleAdornment","Handles","ImageHandleAdornment","LineHandleAdornment","PathfindingLink"}
	
	for i, Category in pairs(Categories) do
		if table.find(Category, Object.ClassName) then
			return Category.Name
		end
	end
end

return module

and replace your script with this

local getobjectcate = require(script.Parent.ModuleScript)

print(getobjectcate.GetObjectCategory(game:GetService("TestService"):WaitForChild("ArcHandles")))

The problem here is that you are returning the results of running the function. To return the function, you just need to remove the brackets on the last line so that the function is not called:

return GetObjectCategory
