Unfortunately, in doing so, I received 10 errors. enter image description here

Can anyone help me debug these mere 6 lines of code?

Welcome to TeX.SX! The easiest way to do this is by using the framed package:

documentclassarticle
usepackageamsmath
usepackageamsfonts
usepackagexcolor
usepackageframed
begindocument

sectionSection Title

beginframed
colorblueThis is a text [x]
endframed

You mentioned tcolorbox in one of your tags, so here is an alternative using the tcolorbox package:

documentclassarticle
usepackageamsmath
usepackageamsfonts
usepackagexcolor
usepackagetcolorbox
begindocument

sectionSection Title

begintcolorbox

fbox is an hbox (LR-mode in the LaTeX book) which does not allow line breaks, and [ is (after error checking) $$so you end up (if you scroll past errors) with

hbox text $$x$$

In in restricted hmode $$ at the primitive level so this is just the same as two $ so it is

 hbox text $ empty math $ x $ empty math $

so as always to get multi-line text into a single-line context you can use a parbox
