Did you add something to trigger the function?

I removed the unnecessary game.Workspace.house:GetChildren() in the function but still nothing

@JustinWe12 I added the onTouch function or I am forgetting to connect the function or something with tables

That is just the name of the function. Someone posted and answer, you can see how to properly call the function with touch event.

I figured it out the 'h' in house was capitalized which should not have been

local parts = game.Workspace.house:GetChildren()
local part = game.Workspace.selfdestruc
function onTouch(part)
	for i,v in pairs(parts) do
		v.Anchored = false
	end
end

part.Touched:Connect(onTouch)

Thanks for helping me guys

You will need to call the function when the part touched

local parts = workspace.House:GetChildren()
local part -- the part you need to be touch
function onTouch(selfdestruct)
--    game.Workspace.house:GetChildren() You won't need this since it doesn't do anything
    for i,v in pairs(parts) do
        v.Anchored = false
    end
end

part.Touch:Connect(onTouch)

or if you want it to work without touching the part

local parts = workspace.House:GetChildren()
function onTouch(selfdestruct)
--    game.Workspace.house:GetChildren() You won't need this since it doesn't do anything
    for i,v in pairs(parts) do
        v.Anchored = false
    end
end

onTouch()

Hope that helped!

Can U help me pls I did not work

You should always check wether or not the Instance is a BasePart & make sure you're not calling functions for pointless reasons. Instance.GetChildren returns a table, it doesn't save it for your next statement/loop.

local OnTouched; OnTouched = function(HitInstance)
	for index, value in pairs(workspace.House:GetChildren()) do
		if value:IsA("BasePart") then
			value.Anchored = false
		end
	end
end
