    local account = getPlayerAccount(playerS) 
    local accName = getAccountName(account) 
        if isObjectInACLGroup("user."..accName,aclGetGroup("Admin")) then 
        if getElementType(player) == "player" and tonumber(amount) then 
            setElementData(player,"Level",getElementData(player,"Level") + amount) 
            outputChatBox("Your level was increased by "..getPlayerName(playerS).." ("..amount.."%)",player,0,255,0) 
            outputChatBox(getPlayerName(player).."'s level was increased.",playerS,0,255,0) 
        else 
            outputChatBox("Failed to give because the player/amount was wrong.",playerS,255,255,0)

Because of the small and capital letters

    local player = getPlayerFromName(PlayerS)

Didnt fix it

This should work, you messed everything.

function setLevel(thePlayer,cmd,toPlayer,amount) 
    local toPlayer = getPlayerFromName(toPlayer) 
    local account = getPlayerAccount(thePlayer) 
    local accName = getAccountName(account) 
    if isObjectInACLGroup("user."..accName,aclGetGroup("Admin")) then 
        if getElementType(toPlayer) == "player" and tonumber(amount) then 
            setElementData(toPlayer,"Level",getElementData(toPlayer,"Level") + amount) 
            outputChatBox("Your level was increased by "..getPlayerName(thePlayer).." ("..amount.."%)",toPlayer,0,255,0) 
            outputChatBox(getPlayerName(thePlayer).."'s level was increased.",thePlayer,0,255,0) 
        else 
            outputChatBox("Failed to give because the player/amount was wrong.",thePlayer,255,255,0) 
        end 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler("setLevel",setLevel,false,false) 

Also to set a level to the player you need to use his full nick (including color code if there is).

So you should use getPlayerFromPartialName and replace getPlayerFromName[/with] with [wiki]getPlayerFromPartialName.
