I decided to write a simple script, but something went wrong, I hope for your help.

- name: Reset root password, disable users
hosts: all
become: yes
become_user: root
vars:
vault_ansible_production_root_password: 123456
tasks:
- name: Reset root password
user:
name: root
password: "{{vault_ansible_production_root_password}}"
update_password: always
- name: Disable user accounts

name: "*"
state: absent
uid: ">=1000"

ERROR! conflicting action statements: user, update_password
The error appears to be in '/etc/an_script/work.yml': line 8, column 7, but may be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.
The offending line appears to be:
tasks: - name: Reset root password ^ here PS
I'm just starting, please don't throw too many tomatoes )))

Indentation's wrong.
With your current code, "user" and "update_password" are at the same level: Ansible doesn't know which one is the plugin to call: conflicting statement
Try this instead:
tasks:
- name: Reset root password
user:
name: root
password: "{{vault_ansible_production_root_password}}"
update_password: always
See docs, params of that module should be one level down:
