your typing it in the lua prompt
if you want to run a program do it from the shell
or just type shell.run("program")

Try typing, "edit 9by9" into the command prompt. Does it open your program's code?

well theres your problem
you cant start variables with a number
theres also some more problems
here be fixed:

write("How many rows should it be: ")
local rows = tonumber(read())
for i=1,rows do
turtle.up()
for i=1,4 do
  for i=1,8 do
   turtle.placeDown()
   while not turtle.forward() do end
  end
  turtle.placeDown()
  turtle.turnLeft()
  while not turtle.forward() do end
end
end

Why is it while not instead of just turtle.forward?
