You are probably trying to get the local player using a server script, which of course will not work.
You can get the LocalPlayer by using a LocalScript and placing it under client-"only" places like StarterGui (Called "PlayerGui" in-game).
local Players = game:GetService("Players");
local LocalPlayer = Players.LocalPlayer;
print("The local player's name is:", LocalPlayer.Name);
--> The local player's name is: WhereAreTheLights
