how do i fix this error ?? please help !!

To fix the error you see, you need to follow the instruction given in the error message: "Consider using the --user option". Another issue would be the usage of the pygame package itself, which requires a GUI environment, hence it wouldn't work on PythonAnywhere anyway, see: https://www.pythonanywhere.com/forums/topic/358/.
