= Expected and I have tried almost anything

input == (Shutdown) then -- Error is here
print ("Shutting down")
sleep(1)
os.shutdown()

if io.read == "Shutdown" then -- Error is here
  print ("Shutting down")
  sleep(1)
  os.shutdown()
end

if io.read() == pass1 then
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
-- Yadda yadda yadda

--31: end
--32: ...
--the 31 and 32 arent there, and at line 32 my code is empty, which has a end right before it.

function newMenu() --tabbed once
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
print ("Select One")
--this is where the selections start
function selection()
term.setCursorPos(10,10)
print [[Login
Shutdown]]
if input == "Login" then -- Tabbed twice
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
pass1 = Colton
pass2 = Bacon
print ("Username:")
input = read("*")
if io.read() == to pass1 then
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
print ("Password:")
if io.read() = pass2 then
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
end
if io.read() == "Shutdown" then --from here it is tabbed 3
print ("Shutting Down...")
sleep(1)
os.shutdown()

Ok. Here it is.

function newMenu() --tabbed once
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
print ("Select One")
--this is where the selections start
function selection()
term.setCursorPos(10,10)
print [[Login
Shutdown]]
if input == "Login" then -- input is not defined yet should be input = read() before
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
pass1 = Colton
pass2 = Bacon
print ("Username:")
input = read("*")
if io.read() == to pass1 then. --what is the "to" for i dont think this is correct
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
print ("Password:")
if io.read() = pass2 then -- this is causing the error should be if read() == pass2
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
end
if io.read() == "Shutdown" then --from here it is tabbed 3
print ("Shutting Down...")
sleep(1)
os.shutdown()

So, the error I get is:
bios:337: [string 'menu2'] :32: 'end' expected (to close if at line 17)
Hope you can help…

function newMenu() --(Your comment: tabbed once)
	term.clear()
	term.setCursorPos(1,1)
	print ("Select One")
	--(Your comment: this is where the selections start)
	function selection()
		term.setCursorPos(10,10)
		print 'Login\n		 Shutdown' -- Changed to a regular string so the spacing works right (\n in a string like that means new line)
		input = read() -- input was not defined for the next line, so I set it to read()
		if input == "Login" then --(Your comment: Tabbed twice)
			term.clear()
			term.setCursorPos(1,1)
			pass1 = "Colton" -- I put these into quotes so that they are literal strings. Otherwise they refer to the variable with that name.
			pass2 = "Bacon"
			print ("Username:")
			input = read("*")
			if input == pass1 then -- I changed io.read() to input, so its the text that was just read, instead of reading new text. (I assume that is what was intended). Also removed 'to' after ==
				term.clear()
				term.setCursorPos(1,1)
				print ("Password:")
				if io.read() == pass2 then
					term.clear()
					term.setCursorPos(1,1)
				end -- I added these two ends to close the if statements about pass1 and pass2 (cause of the end expected error)
			end
		elseif input == "Shutdown" then --(Your comment: from here it is tabbed 3) I removed the end for the 'if input == "Login" then', and changed this to elseif, so it only checks if the input is not Login. I also changed io.read() to input, so it uses the same input as when it checks for login.
			print ("Shutting Down...")
			sleep(1)
			os.shutdown()
		end
	end -- I added an end to close the function selection.
end
