how to reproduce this diagram

There are three things that create errors, as mentioned by Phelype as well:

  1. You've forgotten the closing ] for the options to the tikzpicture, i.e. you have \begin{tikzpicture}[... instead of \begin{tikzpicture}[...]

  2. You've forgotten the mandatory semicolon at the end of each \node statement.

  3. You've used a style called block for all the nodes, but you haven't actually defined that style.

Here is a slightly different approach to Phelype's, using a style that takes an argument to set the fill colour of the node, and a loop to draw the arrows. I removed all the tree stuff (e.g. level 1/.style) as you're not drawing a tree, and the custom distances for the nodes. The default distance (1cm, I think) seems OK here.

  \draw [thick,black!50,-Latex] (\x) -- (\y);

\end{tikzpicture}
\end{center}
\end{document}

Your code had a few problems. There was an unmatched bracket ([) and there was no semicolon (;) after the nodes, that's why it didn't compile.

Edit:

Improved a little with @TeXnician's suggestion.
