You probably want

select  sum(x) 
from    demo_table 
where   DATENAME(weekday,date)='sunday'
group by DATEPART(month,date)

From SELECT (Transact-SQL)

[ WITH common_table_expression]

SELECT select_list [ INTO new_table ]

[ FROM table_source ] [ WHERE search_condition ]

[ GROUP BY group_by_expression ]

[ HAVING search_condition ]

[ ORDER BY order_expression [ ASC | DESC ] ]

Put the where clause before the group by:

select sum(x)
from demo_table
where DATENAME(weekday,date)='sunday'
group by DATEPART(month,date)  ;
