You are parsing three arguments into the write function. symbol, " 5 Day's Average Sales%: ", gy

the write function only takes one string as a parameter try using an F-string

file.write(f"{symbol} 5 Day's Average Sales%: {gy}")

You probably intended:

print(symbol, "5 Day's Average Sales:", gy, file=file)

The write function takes a string.
