    ca = p.Character
end)
local m = p:GetMouse()
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")

CharacterAdded fires in the same tick as the character begins to exist.adding everything to it and setting it as the player's character will not happen when the event is called.

I recommend instead of that, doing this.

local p = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local ca = p.Character or p.CharacterAdded:Wait()

local m = p:GetMouse()
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
ca.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 25

ca will be the character no matter what, as it will wait for it to get added if it needs to.
