When creating a datastore you use the Datastore service within ROBLOX.
You would first have to create a value within the player upon joining the game, in this case I will use money as an example. To do that you would have a starter player script with something like the following:
local money = Instance.new("IntValue",player)
money.Name = money
This would create the value within the player.
Next, you'd have to use the :GetAsync to get the player's value from the datastore. Remember to get the Datastore service. Something like as follows:
local playerStorage = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore(tostring(player.userId))
playerStorage:GetAsync("money")
During the game if the datastore is to change you should update it using :SetAsync. Keeping in mind playerStorage has already been defined. Something like as follows:
playerStorage:SetAsync("money",500)
Setting the money value to 500
Play around with it a little and read this article for more information and help: https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/articles/Data-store
