I assume that there's already a Script in ServerScriptService that's creates the leaderstats Folder.
You don't need to create a new folder just to get the leaderstats, you can get it using Player:WaitForChild("leaderstats").
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Player: Player = Players.LocalPlayer
local ChangedTeam: RemoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("ChangedTeam")
local button = script.Parent
button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
local leaderstats: Folder = Player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
local money: IntValue = leaderstats:WaitForChild("Money")
if money.Value >=100 then
money.Value -= 100
local team: string = button.Name
ChangedTeam:FireServer(team)
end
end)

While your actual issue is due to what the other answer already mentioned – I can tell you that your LocalScript will not deduct any actual money from the user.
This is because of client-server replication. What changes on a client is not replicated to the server, for security purposes, and a LocalScript – as the name says, only executes Locally or in other words, Client-side.
Nonetheless, to solve this issue of client-server replication you can simply try using a Script instead or resort to making a Remote (with proper sanity-checks to avoid exploitation, of course).
