There are few basic things wrong with your code.

First of read the question properly. It specifically says that your score method should take in the PARAMETER/ARGUMENT player. Not ask user for this info (would that makes sense in a real game?)

second you don't need to return anything.
and you can just use the indexes to your advantage & have a succinct answer e.g.

self.current_score[player-1] += 1

but really that is all you need in your score function!
