I think you've got a syntax error. It looks like you're defining a function, but also trying to connect that function immediately to the TextButton. Try naming your function clicking, and then passing that into the connection.

function clicking()
    print("working..?..")
    local vv = script.Parent.ValorVoto
    vv.Value = vv.Value + 1
    script.Parent.Parent.TextLabel.Text = "clicks: " .. tostring(vv.Value)
end
    
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(clicking)
