There's an extra level of indentation in lines 83 to 104. 

  while True:
    draw_map(player)
    valid_moves = get_moves(player)

      print("you are currently in room {}".format(player))
      print("You can move {}".format(", ".join(valid_moves)))
      print('Enter QUIT to quit')

      move = input(">")
      move = move.upper()


      if move == 'QUIT':
            break
      if move in valid_moves:
        player = move_player(player,move)

        if player == monster:
            print("\n** Oh no! The monster got you! Better luck next time!**\n")
            break 
        if player == door:
            print("\n**You escaped! Congrats!**\n")
            break
      else:
        input("\n** Walls are hard! Don't run into them! **\n")
      clear_screen()

Notice that print(...) is indented farther than the line above it. Go through your code and move everything back into place, and that should do the trick. Python can be really finnicky about indenting, and a lot of the times it's easy to miss an over or under-indented line or block of code when looking over it by eye.

Just to clarify, your fixed code should look like this 

def game_loop():
  monster, door, player = get_locations()

  while True:
    draw_map(player)
    valid_moves = get_moves(player)

    print("you are currently in room {}".format(player))
    print("You can move {}".format(", ".join(valid_moves)))
    print('Enter QUIT to quit')

    move = input(">")
    move = move.upper()


    if move == 'QUIT':
          break
    if move in valid_moves:
      player = move_player(player,move)

      if player == monster:
          print("\n** Oh no! The monster got you! Better luck next time!**\n")
          break 
      if player == door:
          print("\n**You escaped! Congrats!**\n")
          break
    else:
      input("\n** Walls are hard! Don't run into them! **\n")
    clear_screen()
