[C# console app .net4.7.2] Seemingly can't instantiate an object

Okay So I'm working on a text based adventure app for an entry level college class. I have an "Alien" base class which is inherited by a "CrabAlien" class, I'm trying to instantiate a crab alien in my "GameWorld" class but it's telling me that none of it exists in the current context and I'm not sure why. I'm sure it's something stupid I'm missing like some sort of permission level thing, but I just can't figure it out

and just incase it's also important here are the error codes it's throwing

code needs to go inside of a method

public class GameWorld
{
    public void DoSomething()
    {
        Alien Alien1 = new CrabAlien();
        alien1.isHidden = true;
    }
}

public class GameWorld
{
    public void DoSomething()
    {
        Alien Alien1 = new CrabAlien();
        alien1.isHidden = true;
    }
}

As a side note, are you forced to use 4.7?
