        local gui = child:Clone()
        gui.Name = gui.Name.." parented to "..owner.Name.." from "..name
        gui.Parent = owner.PlayerGui

you have to provide more tools for us to work with like what line did the problem happen at? what does variable "guis" define to? 123nabilben123 499 — 4y

Problem:

The problem was you forgot the () at line 5, all credit to @killerbrenden

Solution:

Copy this script:

local children = game.Players:GetChildren()
for i, child in ipairs(children) do
    local name = child.Name
    print("Currently on player "..child.Name .." No. " .. i)
    local guis = child.PlayerGui:GetChildren()
    for i, child in ipairs(guis) do
        local gui = child:Clone()
        gui.Name = gui.Name.." parented to "..owner.Name.." from "..name
        gui.Parent = owner.PlayerGui
        print("Parented "..child.Name.." from "..name)
    end
end
print("Done!")

Full script:

local children = game.Players:GetChildren()
for i, child in ipairs(children) do
    local name = child.Name
    print("Currently on player "..child.Name .." No. " .. i)
    local guis = child.PlayerGui:GetChildren
    for i, child in ipairs(guis) do
        local gui = child:Clone()
        gui.Name = gui.Name.." parented to "..owner.Name.." from "..name
        gui.Parent = owner.PlayerGui
        print("Parented "..child.Name.." from "..name)
    end
end
