There are some errors in your smart contract:

• In smart contract's constructor() you cannot declare a function. In your case you're declaring withdrawAmount() function into it. For resolve this, you must to move this function outside constructor;

• You're using the same name for a withdrawAmount() function and uint256 variabile called withdrawAmount . The compiler give you error because you cannot use the same name for declaring a variabile and a function, thus you must to change one of these name with a different name;

• withdrawAmount() has onlyOwner() modifier that you didn't declare into your smart contract. To solve this problem you must to declare it. More information about modifiers here ;

• You didn't declare and implement the getBalance() function in your contract;

• When use transfer() function you must use it with payable address. In your case you must to cast the msg.sender address using payable() in this way:

  payable(msg.sender).transfer(amount);

I tried to correct your smart contract, you can continue with this model:

// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
pragma solidity >= 0.7.0 <0.9.0;

contract Challenge0 {
    address public owner;
    uint256 userBalance;
    uint256 withdrawAmountVariable;
    bool public canWithdraw = false;
  
    constructor() {
        owner = msg.sender;
    }

    modifier onlyOwner() {
        require(owner == msg.sender, "You aren't the smart contact's owner");
        _;
    }

    function getBalance() public returns(uint) {
        // TODO: implement your logic
    }

    function withdrawAmount(uint256 amount) onlyOwner payable public {
        require(msg.value == amount);
        require(amount <= getBalance());
        payable(msg.sender).transfer(amount);
    }

    function setUserBalance()external view {
        // TODO: implement  your logic 
    }
    
    function getUserBalance()public view returns (uint256){
        return address(this).balance;
    }

}
