        account acc = new account();
        acc.Name = conName;
        insert acc;
        system.debug(acc);
        
        contact con = new contact contact();
        con.LastName = conName + 'Contact';
        con.AccountId = acc.Id

Hi Can you try the below code.
  
public class createNewAccount {
public Contact createAcc(string conName){
        
        account acc = new account();
        acc.Name = conName;
        insert acc;
        system.debug(acc);
        
        contact con = new contact();
        con.LastName = conName + 'Contact';
        con.AccountId = acc.Id
        insert con;
        system.debug(con);
        
        return con;
    }

}

Let me know if you face any issues.

Hi Amit,

You have to remove the 'contact' in the contact object creation line.
You have missed adding the semicolon after acc.Id
You have to replace the 'Contact' with 'con' in the return statement.

Use the below code: 
public class createNewAccount {
    
    public Contact createAcc(string conName){
        
        account acc = new account();
        acc.Name = conName;
        insert acc;
        system.debug(acc);
        
        contact con = new contact();
        con.AccountId = acc.Id;
        con.LastName = conName + 'Contact';
        insert con;
        system.debug(con);
        
        return con;
        
    }
    
}
