when i run this code it give me error that serial1 was not decleared in the scope

The board, that you are compiling for, does not have Serial1 and Serial2. Why did you try to use them? Or are you simply compiling for the wrong board type? What Arduino do you have? — chrisl, Feb 25 '20 at 08:50
What board are you using? If it's not one of the bigger boards then what makes you think it would have Serial1 and Serial2? — Majenko, Feb 25 '20 at 10:02
If you had formatted your code in a readable manner you would see, that there are too many closing curly braces . One in your loop function and two in the code at the end. Correct formatting makes the code readable and let you find your mistakes easier. — Peter Paul Kiefer, Feb 25 '20 at 12:15

The only SoftwareSerial you a declaring is SoftwareSerial mySerial(10, 11); // RX, TX (And you you didn't use it afterwards).

If the hardware serials Serial1, Serial2 or Serial3 are available
(and already declared in the arduino.h header depends on the board you are using.
