The issue here is that you are calling the HumanoidRootPart before it is loaded into the game.
A quick fix to this would be adding a
player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
to your code.
The finished version is below!
local secretMessage = 'test'
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
local char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
plr.Chatted:Connect(function(messageSent)
if messageSent == secretMessage then
char.HumanoidRootPart.Position = Vector3.new(0,0,0)
end
end)
end)

The error could be because you're calling the character immediately. In most cases, the character doesn't load as soon as the player joins, so you can try replacing local user = player.Character with local user = player.CharacterAdded:Wait() so the character is retrieved when it is loaded.
