First, make sure this is a Server Script inside of ServerScriptService.

Now let me re-write your code;

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(p) -- use connect with a cap C
	p.CharacterAdded:Wait()
	wait(5)
	local CT = game.Lighting:WaitForChild("SkullSword"):Clone() -- we use waitforchild to wait untill it loads in
	CT.Parent = p.Backpack
end)

Try this code. It may or may not solve your problem. I don't see any other problems here. Here's a few stuff you can do if it still doesn't work;

  1. Make sure you got the name of the sword correct
  2. Add variables for the sword
  3. change the location of "SkullSword" to ReplicatedStorage
  4. re - write your code

I'm sure one of these should help.

Good luck and have fun developing!
