Syntax error: SyntaxError: Unexpected token '.' line: 8 file: Code.gs

I don’t understand what I did wrong here
Syntax error: SyntaxError: Unexpected token ‘.’ line: 8 file: Code.gs
I was working on google docs script editor

I tried removing and adding the dot back but didn’t work so the script is below

function onOpen() {
  var ui = DocumentApp.getUi();
  ui.alert(
    'Hello!',
    'Welcome to JNT_Network. This is a place for people to be free, if you are against us finding unblockers, we respectfully ask that you leave this doc and never come back. Thanks!',
    ui.ButtonSet.OK
  );
  .addSubMenu(ui.createMenu('Credits')
          .addItem('Joseph(Owner)', 'joseph2'))
      .addToUi();
}

function joseph2() {
  DocumentApp.getUi() // Or DocumentApp, SlidesApp or FormApp.
      return HtmlService.createHtmlOutputFromFile('j');
}

the j in the html service is j.html

>Solution :

You have to create the menu first, then call addSubMenu() on that.

function onOpen() {
  var ui = DocumentApp.getUi();
  ui.alert(
    'Hello!',
    'Welcome to JNT_Network. This is a place for people to be free, if you are against us finding unblockers, we respectfully ask that you leave this doc and never come back. Thanks!',
    ui.ButtonSet.OK
  );
  ui.createMenu('Main Menu').addSubMenu(ui.createMenu('Credits')
      .addItem('Joseph(Owner)', 'joseph2'))
    .addToUi();
}

function joseph2() {
  DocumentApp.getUi() // Or DocumentApp, SlidesApp or FormApp.
  return HtmlService.createHtmlOutputFromFile('j');
}

See the example in the documentation
