Try this:

1) Call GameObject btnGameObject = GameObject.Find("/Canvas/Pause_Button"); and inspect btnGameObject so it should be not null. It checks the GameObject with this name is in the hierarchy. Notice "/" at the beginning of the string ID "/Canvas/Pause_Button" so to perform the search from the Root.

2) When btnGameObject is not null, perform Button btn = btnGameObject.GetComponent<Button>() and inspect btn is not null. It checks the "Button" component is attached to the "/Canvas/Pause_Button" GameObject.

Your code looks good so I think the problem is in the ID or missed component.
