"Expected an indented block" means that the indicated line should have
started with at least one whitespace character more than the preceding

>>> with open("C:\Beautiful Soup\ecologicalpyramid.html","r")as f:
... soup = BeautifulSoup(f,"lxml")
should have been something like
>>> with open("C:\Beautiful Soup\ecologicalpyramid.html","r")as f:
... soup = BeautifulSoup(f,"lxml")
