The break function was only added in Puppet 4.8, so it won't work in 3.8

https://docs.puppet.com/puppet/4.8/function.html#break

However, what are you trying to achieve? The break() function simply quits the logic block, so that if statement would doesn't really have a point.

If you want to fail the Puppet run if that variable is present, you can just do 

if $puppet_conf == 'default' {
  fail('Error message')
}
