I am trying to make a discord kick command that kicks a specific person on my server. Yes, it isn't very practical but this is exactly what my bot needs. This is my code:

if (command == "kickderek") { let member = message.guild.member("<@userid>"); member.kick(); kickd = Math.floor(Math.random() * 10000); if (kickd == 1) { member.kick(); message.channel.send("God has accepted your wish and derek has been kicked"); return; } else { message.channel.send("Try again, you failed kicking derek"); return; }
}

Whenever I run it I get the error:

/home/admin/discbot/disc.js:357 member.kick(); ^
TypeError: Cannot read property 'kick' of null
at Client.<anonymous> (/home/admin/discbot/disc.js:357:16)

at WebSocket.emit (events.js:314:20)
at Receiver.receiverOnMessage (/home/admin/discbot/node_modules/ws/lib/websocket.js:797:20)

Can someone help me solve this problem, I have been working on it for hours.

Cannot read property 'kick' of null means that the member part of member.kick if not defined, meaning that when you defined member, let member = message.guild.member('<@userid>'); is returning null.
Just pass the userid without the bracket notation: let member = message.guild.member(USERID);

P.S. If you're trying to only kick after the RNG roll, you have a typo in your code: You call kick before the rng rolls

member.kick();
kickd = Math.floor(Math.random() * 10000);
if(kickd == 1){
