This error is due to addition of script tag in the Header section of the HTML page. (It occurs if we add any javascript in the header section of the AMP page)

If we are using a WordPress site, you may need to remove the scripts that is placed in the header section. Specifically if you are using AMP for WP then follow the below steps to remove the code
