You cant use game.Players.LocalPlayer in Server Scripts, instead use game.Players.PlayerAdded to add the leaderstats folder when a player joins the game, and also wins is a folder which doesnt have the value property, instead use NumberValues to store numbers.

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(NewPlayer)
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	leaderstats.Parent = NewPlayer
	
	local Wins = Instance.new("NumberValue")
	Wins.Parent = leaderstats
	Wins.Name = "Wins"
	Wins.Value = 1000
end)

Can you zoom in? its hard to read the script

Doesnt appear to be the case. Looking at it, there i ls no LocalPlayer besides in the player added function which is normal.

Edit: noticed the script above

Im talking about the other script because i think the error is coming from it

(their script)

i already have a leaderstats i want to identify that same leaderstat and add another value to it because add it to the main script doesnt work

You can also use game.Players.PlayerAdded for that,

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(NewPlayer)
	local leaderstats = NewPlayer:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
	
	local Wins = Instance.new("NumberValue")
	Wins.Parent = leaderstats
	Wins.Name = "Wins"
	Wins.Value = 1000
end)

Im not sure why you need 2 Scripts for the same thing, just do this:

DS = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("ExampleData")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Plr)
local ls = Instance.new("Folder", Plr)
ls.Name = "leaderstats"

local w = Instance.new("IntValue", ls)
w.Name = "Wins"
w.Value = DS:GetAsync(Plr.UserId, w.Value) or 1000

w:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()
DS:UpdateAsync(Plr.UserId, w.Value)
end
end
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(Plr)
DS:SetAsync(Plr.UserId, Plr.Wins.Value)
end)

If you want to get the value and put it inside a Gui:

LocalScript:

while task.wait() do

Gui.TextLabel.Text = game.Players.LocalPlayer:FindFirstChild("leaderstats").Wins.Value
end

To add a New Value:

DS = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("ExampleData")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Plr)
local ls = Instance.new("Folder", Plr)
ls.Name = "leaderstats"

local w = Instance.new("IntValue", ls)
w.Name = "Wins"
w.Value = DS:GetAsync(Plr.UserId, w.Value) or 1000
--/Our New Value/--
local NewValue = Instance.new("IntValue", Plr)
NewValue.Name = "ExampleValue"
NewValue.Value = w
----
w:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()
DS:UpdateAsync(Plr.UserId, w.Value)
end
end
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(Plr)
DS:SetAsync(Plr.UserId, Plr.Wins.Value)
end)

Thank you this worked but do you mind adding a data store to this?

Give @CZXPEK the Solution, he deserves it.
