local dataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local playerData = dataStoreService:GetDataStore("ashsgfjhlsfvjsafv")
local LoadEvent = script.Load.Event.Value


game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	
	local MainTheme = workspace.MainTheme:Clone()
	MainTheme.Parent = player
	MainTheme.Playing = false
	
	local Playing = Instance.new("BoolValue")
	Playing.Parent = player
	Playing.Value = false
	Playing.Name = "Playing"
	
	local CheckPoint = Instance.new("IntValue")
	CheckPoint.Name = "CheckPoint"
	CheckPoint.Parent = player

    --here is the error
	CheckPoint.Value = playerData:GetAsync(player.UserId, player.CheckPoint.Value) or 0
	--ends here
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
	playerData:SetAsync(player.UserId, player.CheckPoint.Value)
	print(player.CheckPoint.Value)
end)

Datastore:GetAsync() only takes one argument, which is the player’s UserId.

Try:

--here is the error
	CheckPoint.Value = playerData:GetAsync(player.UserId) or 0
	--ends here
