it means that, you are accessing a null reference variable in your script. you should either set it in the inspector or at runtime. if it's FPS tutorial so i think there is something that you should set it up in inspector but you did not.

Hi, thanks you, I'm wondering: what is 'null reference variable' ? is it these variables where you can drag and drop a game object ?

a null reference variable is a variable that does not contain a value. it might be a public var that you can set it using drag and drpo or a public/private one that you should set at runtime. take a look at the code that has the error or post it here.
