At least in your reprex above, your functions and content can't be found without the libraries you're using (that's why you get could not find function errors).

As Mara said, you are missing library calls and also a + symbol after scale_x_log10().
This code produces an animation:

library(tidyverse)
library(gganimate)
library(gapminder)

data_thing <- gapminder %>%
    filter(continent == c("Americas", "Africa", "Asia")) 

ggplot(data_thing, aes(x = gdpPercap, y = lifeExp, size = pop, color = country)) +
    geom_point() +
    theme(legend.position = "none") +
    scale_x_log10() +
    facet_wrap(~continent) +
    labs(title = "Year: {frame_time}") +
    transition_time(year) +
    shadow_wake(wake_length = 0.1, alpha = FALSE)

If you get an error message instead, then very likely you don't have a renderer program installed in your system
