Can't see what's wrong with my code?

Inside of the if statement, create a variable named "my_plugin_username". Assign it the HTML escaped value of the my_plugin_username input field.

From what I can see, my code is correct? It's also below:

plugin.php 
<?php

function my_plugin_options_page() {

    if (!current_user_can('manage_options')) {
        wp_die('You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.');
    }

    if( isset( $_POST[' my_plugin_hidden_field'] ) ) {

            $my_plugin_username = esc_html( $_POST['my_plugin_username'] );


    }

}

?>
