login=abc
echo "Please Login . ." 
read loginpass 
               if [ "$loginpass" = "login" ]

I see two more errors Smilie

Either remove the s in usersname or add an appropriate s to $username
Code:
    read usersname
    su Willo009 -c useradd $username

Substitute $1 by userping
Code:
    read userping
        if ! ping -c 1 -w 5 "$1" &>/dev/null
