As far as I am aware there isn't a way of directly using an Ansible variable within a script, as you describe.
There are a number of different ways of achieving the behavior I think you're after.
The first option would be to write your script in such a way that the desired variable value can be passed in as an argument. As described in the script module docs:
The script module takes the script name followed by a list of space-delimited arguments.
As such, you could run a script which takes the variable as an argument like:
- name: script
script: scripts/script.sh {{myvar}}
Another option would be template out the script and use the Ansible template module to substitute the variable value directly into your script. You could then use either the command or shell Ansible modules to execute the script, configured from the template, on the remote node.

Thks, my var is a password so I will use the template solution.
If you have a long string with newlines or spaces, prefer use single quotas to pass it as one sting
Also you might find it useful endings of stdout or stdout_lines
- name: script
script: "{{ role_path }}/scripts/script.sh '{{ myvar.stdout }}'"
