Can you give your repl link? Also this is not a replit bug. It is a bug in your code so it should probably be categorized as #code-help

You add the key as "player:" notice the colon (":") try this:

import random


def get_choices():
  player_choice = input("Enter a choice (rock, paper or scissors): ")
  options = ["rock", "paper", "scissors"]
  computer_choice = random.choice(options)
  choices = {"player": player_choice, "computer:": computer_choice} # the code is the same but I just deleted ":" in the player entry
  return choices


def check_win(player, computer):
  print(f"You chose {player}, computer chose {computer}")
  if player == computer:
    return "It's a tie!"
  elif player == "rock":
    if computer == "scissors":
      return "Rock smashes scissors! You win!"
    else:
      return "Paper covers rock! You lose."
  elif player == "paper":
    if computer == "rock":
      return "Paper covers rock! You win!"
    else:
      return "Scissors cut paper! You lose."
  elif player == "scissors":
    if computer == "paper":
      return "Scissors cut paper! You win!"
    else:
      return "Rock smashes scissors! You lose."


choices = get_choices()
print(choices)
check_win(choices['player'], choices['computer'])
print(check_win())
