What is wrong with this syntax? It is not accepting it and coming up with errors.

app.js 
let firstName = 'Felix';
let lastName = 'Nicol';
let role = 'developer';


let msg = firstName + ' ' + lastName + ':' + role + '.';
let newMsg = role.toUpperCase();

You almost correct, the question says just convert role variable to with toUpperCase() method., and didn't mention about a new variable like 'let newMsg'

let firstName = 'Felix';
let lastName = 'Nicol';
let role = 'developer';


let msg = firstName + ' ' + lastName + ': ' +  role.toUpperCase();

You can do like this 

let msg = ` ${firstName} ${lastName} : ${role.toUpperCase()}`;

Its call ' Template literals '
