Obviously you are trying to make a bootable flash installer for Monterey, right?
Do you have "Install macOS Monterey.app" in /Applications? If you have macOS Extended (GUID) formatted "Untitled" USB flash drive on the Desktop, then this Terminal command should work and prompt to erase the drive and also make "Y" prompt at some stage. (You can use other names for the flash drive but it must be the same as in the end of the command).
sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Monterey.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled

What command...
y is not a command, if you are in dialog with the shell, y might be a Yes if it is asking for conformation to continue: y/n

Thank you! The Apple Help page had an incomplete Terminal command, leaving off the application address part.
Actually it doesn't…
sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Monterey.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/MyVolume
Glad you got it working.
Just to add, that message indicates the Command you typed in is incorrect.
Thank you! The Apple Help page had an incomplete Terminal command, leaving off the application address part. Your complete command line solved the problem!
