There is no embed property on the Message object. But there is an embeds property instead, which is an array of MessageEmbeds.

You can iterate through all embeds in the message using:

bot.on("message", (msg) => {
    msg.embeds.forEach((embed) => {
        console.log(embed.title);
        console.log(embed.description);
    });
});

However, description might not be available if the embed just contains fields or a picture etc. You can see the full list of properties that an embed can contain here.

If the embed does contain fields, you can use the fields property in the MessageEmbed class, which is an array of EmbedFields.

You can look through all fields in all embeds using this:

bot.on("message", (msg) => {
    msg.embeds.forEach((embed) => {
        let fields = embed.fields;
        fields.forEach((field) => {
            console.log(field.name);
            console.log(field.value);
        });
    });
});
