The mentions property on the message event object returns a MessageMentions object, not a user object, which is what you seem to be expecting.

The reason for this is you may be mentioning more than 1 user in a message, so this object passes you an array of the relevant users. The following code will fetch the first user mentioned.

if (message.content.startsWith(`${prefix}avatar `)) {
    let firstUser = message.mentions.users.first();
    message.channel.send(`${firstUser.username}'s avatar: ${firstUser.avatarURL}`) 
}
