You are getting this error because you have the code in the wrong place in the class so move it to any function or in viewDidLoad
method.
You can have only declarations in class scope, not expressions to be executed.
And it will work fine.
EDIT:
In your second UIViewController
just read highScore from NSUserDefaults
this way:
let hScore = NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().objectForKey("Highscore") as! String
highSchoreLabel.text = hScore
