Why wont this concatenate?
This is the error that comes when I run the script: Players.Player.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.TextBox.Script:5: attempt to concatenate global 'Power' (a userdata value)
this script is a child of a textbox.
Player = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent
Char = Player.Character
Power = Player:WaitForChild("Power")
script.Parent.Text = "Energy: " .. Power

I believe it is because setting the text of anything requires a string, and it can't find one from that. If it is a StringValue, do this:
script.Parent.Text = "Energy: " .. Power.Value
Otherwise if it is another Gui, do this:
script.Parent.Text = "Energy: " .. Power.Text

Please use LocalScripts for GUI and anything that is for the player only. This will fix it:
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer -- You can get the player easily in localscripts
local power = player:WaitForChild("Power")
script.Parent.Text = power.Value -- Power itself is not a value (it's an object) therefore we need to set it to a property of the object.
