As Hamidou mentioned in another answer, the problem is because you did not save the file. If you want to save the file whenever you make changes, you can turn on the auto save function by clicking auto save under File> auto save

According to the image you provided, you didnt save the changes you made to file. You can see that with that white circle on top of the file name. So just save the changes with CTRL + S and everything should be fine

Obviously you didn't save the file after modifying it, and the white dot next to the file name indicates this information.

Press Ctrl+S to save the file, then execute the script. Or add the following setting to enable autosave.

    "files.autoSave": "afterDelay",

Also you are using Code Runner to execute code, which is not recommended. If you still want to use it, the following setting save the script before running the code (only for Code Runner).

    "code-runner.saveFileBeforeRun": true,
