Team Change Script Not Working. What happend?
As before, I am making a game involving Team Change.
When I made a GUI with a script telling it to make a GUI visible, when I told it to change the players teams, the script crashed.
Variables(for Team Change):
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Citizen = game.Players.LocalPlayer:FindFirstChild("Team"):FindFirstChild("Citizen")
for the Visible part:
local Confirm = game.Players.LocalPlayer:FindFirstChild("PlayerGui"):FindFirstChild("Team Selector").Confirmation
The function:
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
Confirm.Visible = true
Player.Team = Citizen
end)
Put Together:
local Confirm = game.Players.LocalPlayer:FindFirstChild("PlayerGui"):FindFirstChild("Team Selector").Confirmation
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Citizen = game.Players.LocalPlayer:FindFirstChild("Team"):FindFirstChild("Citizen")
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
Confirm.Visible = true
Player.Team = Citizen
end)
When run, Like I said, It all crashes. What do I have to do?

There may be some confusion, but it is okay to change TeamColor or Team property when assigning a player to a team. However, by changing the Team property, you must give the actual Instance of the Team and Team must be a part of the Team Service before either changes!
Looking at your code, local Citizen = game.Players.LocalPlayer:FindFirstChild("Team"):FindFirstChild("Citizen") seems strange. You should find a team named Citizen by looking through the TeamService. And again, keep in mind if you attempt to change TeamColor to a non-existent team's color, the player will be put in neutral or you get an error, depending on what you're doing.
See below on a script that should work, although I am unsure if changing team through localscripts will work, you may need to use Remotes to change the team. On the note of your crashes, I see nothing that should result in one, it may be a difference script you are not showing us.
local Confirm = game.Players.LocalPlayer:FindFirstChild("PlayerGui"):FindFirstChild("Team Selector").Confirmation -- unsure why you don't use FindFirstChild for Confirmation
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Citizen =game:GetService("Teams"):FindFirstChild("Citizen")
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function() -- Connect should be capitalized, changes nothing but is desired
Confirm.Visible = true
Player.Team = Citizen
end)

When you change the Team, you want to change the player's TeamColor. Look here and here! Not the team itself.
EXAMPLE (NOT BY ME):
function setTeam(player, teamName)
player.TeamColor = game.Teams[teamName].TeamColor
if player.Character then --Just in case the character doesn't exist for some reason
player.Character:BreakJoints() -- Kills the players' character
end
end
--How it's used
setTeam(game.Players.anth4598, "Blues")
--Changing everyone's team to "Reds"
for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
setTeam(player, "Reds")
end
