player is a variable you have to set. You can get it by using game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(model), which returns nil if the model isn't from a player character. It can be set in localscripts with local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer. BUT you are using a part.Touched event, so you don't need a player unless you want to mess with it too or to rule out npcs. Set a variable for the touched part:

player.Character.Head.Anchored = true

function onPartTouched(touch)
	if touch.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid") then --makes sure part is from a humanoid
		touch.Parent.Head.Anchored = true
	end
end

part.Touched:connect(onPartTouched)
