The console window is useful for debugging what is wrong. It is telling you PlayerMovement.cs(21,80). PlayerMovement.cs is the name of the script where is the error. 21 is the line and 80 is the error position approximation. You can double click the error and the Mono or Visual Studio editor will open showing you the position with the cursor in where is the error (close to the error). The error can be before or after this position of the cursore but not too far away. In your case you try to assign a game object value to a float number. Next time add include the code in the question.
