wordpress shortcode just displays its name as it

<?php
    function ash_now_big(){
        $debut = 0; //The first article to be displayed
        query_posts('cat=45&showposts=1');
        while(have_posts()) : the_post();//while loop
            $myposts = get_posts('numberposts=-1&offset=$debut');
            if (has_post_thumbnail( $post->ID ) ): 
                $output .= $image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), 'single-post-thumbnail' ); 
                $output .=' <a href="'. the_permalink().'"><img src="'. $image[0] .'" style="width:100%"></a>';
          endif; // end of if
      endwhile; //end of while
 return $output;
}   
add_shortcode("ash_now_big", "ash_now_big");//creating shortcode

This shortcode when used just displays [ash_now_big] what could be the problem

Where have you put this code in your project? Do you have any plugin or do you just want to put it in function file?

Please put below code in your theme functions.php file:

function ash_now_big(){
        $debut = 0; //The first article to be displayed
        query_posts('cat=1&showposts=1');
        while(have_posts()) : the_post();//while loop
            $myposts = get_posts('numberposts=-1&offset=$debut');
            if (has_post_thumbnail( $post->ID ) ): 
                $image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), 'single-post-thumbnail' ); 
                $output .=' <a href="'. get_the_permalink().'"><img src="'. $image[0] .'" style="width:100%"></a>';
            endif; // end of if
        endwhile; //end of while
    return $output;
}   
add_shortcode("ash_now_big", "ash_now_big");//creating shortcode
