Hello.

Solution:

Use Player.PlayerGui instead of game.StarterGui as StarterGui is the container for gui you start with. Gui's in StarterGui get cloned into the player's PlayerGui. PlayerGui is the container for the actual gui itself.

Fixed Code:

01local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
02local inventory = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("Inventory")
03 
04game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
05    local values = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").ShopValues.FirstWalkspeed
06    local koalaInv = game.ReplicatedStorage.HatValues.KoalaInventoryCount
07    local koalaQue = game.ReplicatedStorage.HatValues.KoalaCount
08 
09    local Data
10 
11    local success, err = pcall(function()
12        Data = inventory:GetAsync(player.UserId.."_Data", values.Value)
13 
14    end)
15    if success then
16    print("loaded")
17        values.Value = Data[1]
18        koalaInv.Value = Data[2]
19        koalaQue.Value = Data[3]
20 
21    else
22            print("Error getting data")
23            warn(err)
24    end
25 
26 
27end)
28 
29 
30game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
31 
32    local values = player.PlayerGui.ShopValues.FirstWalkspeed
33    local koalaInv = game.ReplicatedStorage.HatValues.KoalaInventoryCount
34    local koalaQue = game.ReplicatedStorage.HatValues.KoalaCount
35 
36    local toSave = {values.Value, koalaInv.Value, koalaQue.Value}
37 
38 
39    local success, err = pcall(function()
40        inventory:SetAsync(player.UserId.."_Data", toSave)
41 
42    end)
43 
44    if success then
45        print ("data saved")
46    else
47            print("There was an error")
48            warn(err)
49    end
