local BillboardGui = game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage'):WaitForChild('BillboardGui')
local text = script.Parent.Parent.TextBox.Text
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
    BillboardGui.frame.TextBox.Text = text
    print ("text changed")
end)

local BillboardGui = game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage'):WaitForChild('BillboardGui') --You may have also made a spelling mistake here.

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
    plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char) --Fires everytime the player respawns
        char:WaitForChild('Head')
        local clonedBillBoard = BillboardGui:Clone()
        clonedBillBoard.Parent = char.Head
        clonedBillBoard.frame.RPText.Text = plr.Name
    end)
end)

the first script is in a textutton and the second is in server script service

You're changing the UI stored in ReplicatedStorage, rather than the one in the client's PlayerGui.

Parent the Billboard to the client's PlayerGui, and set its Adornee property to the client's Head.

TextButton LocalScript:

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer --The client
local plrUI = plr:WaitForChild("PlayerGui") --The client's UI
local BillboardGui = plr:WaitForChild("BillboardGui") --Billboard

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
    --Define inside the event so 'text' variable updates
    local text = script.Parent.Parent.TextBox.Text
    BillboardGui.frame.TextBox.Text = text
    print("text changed")
end)

Script in ServerScriptService:

--No need for WaitForChild since it is in ReplicatedStorage
local BillboardGui = game.ReplicatedStorage.BillboardGui

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
    plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
        char:WaitForChild("Head")
        local clonedBillBoard = BillboardGui:Clone()
        --Parent(where its located)
        clonedBillBoard.Parent = plr.PlayerGui
        --Adornee(where it shows up)
        clonedBillBoard.Adornee = char.Head
        clonedBillBoard.frame.RPText.Text = plr.Name
    end)
end)
