Hi anyone would help mewith this error 'R_tilde = builtin('s​ubsref',L_​tilde,Idx)​'

Please show us the full and exact text of the error message (everything displayed in red and/or orange in the Command Window when you run the code, exactly as it is displayed in the Command Window.)

A couple comments / suggestions:

The identifiers cos, sin, alpha, beta, and gamma each already have meanings in MATLAB. By defining them as symbolic variables you will not be able to call the cosine, sine, alpha (graphics transparency), beta (special function), or gamma (special function) functions while those symbolic variables exist.

eqn1=-f(t)*(M+m1+m2)*xddot + (m1*l1+m2*L1)*alphaddot*cos*alpha + m2*l2*betaddot*cos*beta - (m1*l1+m2*L1)*alpha*sq*sin*alpha - m2*l2*betadot*sq*sin*beta;
eqn2=(m1*l1*sq+m2*L1*sq+l1)*alphaddot + (m1*l1*m2*L1)*xddot*cos*alpha + (m2*l2*L1*betaddot*cos*gamma) + (m2*l2*L1*beta*sq*sin*gamma) - g(m1*l1+m2*L1)*(sin*alpha);

You can't ask for element m1*l1+m2*L1 of g like you did in the last term on the line above. If I'd written:

myX = 1:10;
result = myX(g)

what would you expect result to be? I'm guessing you meant to multiply g by that expression but forgot the *.

eqn3=(m2*L1*sq+l2)*betaddot + (m2*l2)*xddot*(cos*beta) + (m2*l2*L1)*alphaddot*(cos*gamma) - (m2*l2*L1)*alphadot*sq*(sin*gamma) - (m2*g*l2*sin*beta);
sol = solve([eqn1, eqn2, eqn3], [f(t),cos,sin,M,m1,m2,xddot,xddotsq,l1,l2,L1,l2,alpha,alphadot,alphaddot,alphadot,beta,betaddot,betadot,g,gamma,sq,theta,xddot]);

You've got three equations in many more than 3 unknowns. That could be a problem.

Based on your naming scheme, I'm guessing you're trying to solve a system of differential equations. If I'm correct you might want to try the approach described on this documentation page instead.
