Here is my code and I don't have any idea what is wrong with if:

extends Node2D
var left_pos = get_node("guy").get_pos()
if Input.is_action_pressed("move_right"):
    left_pos.y += 10
func _ready():
    pass

Best answer

you can't write code outside of function, except define variable.
you need to move it inside of function.

for example

extends Node2D

var left_pos = get_node("guy").get_pos()

func _ready():
    pass

func _process():
    if Input.is_action_pressed("move_right"):
        left_pos.y += 10

I suggest you to read document for GDscript.
