 rb.MovePosition(rb.position + Vector2.right * x);

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class Player : MonoBehaviour {

public float speed = 15f;

private Rigidbody2D rb;

void start ()
{
    rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
}

void FixedUpdate ()
{
    float x = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * Time.fixedDeltaTime * speed;

    rb.MovePosition(rb.position + Vector2.right * x);

}

}

This error is probably due to rb == null.
Please be sure that the game object with your script has Rigidbody2D component.

Also - write “Start” with capital “S”. It’s mistake to write it with lowercase letter.
