What is the correct pronoun for the sentence if anybody wants to go to that new restaurant they must make reservations a month in advance?

The pronouns in the sentence are correct: anybody and they.
Although the pronoun 'they' is a plural form and the antecedent pronoun 'anybody' is a singular form, it is actually an acceptable use since English has no gender neutral, singular pronoun for a person of unknown gender.
The only alternative to using the pronoun 'they' is using 'she or he' in its place, which sounds clumsy to some people.

What is the pronoun-antecedent error in this sentence If anybody wants to go to that new restaurant she or he has to make reservations a month in advance?
There is no antecedent error in the example sentence. The only alternative would be to use the plural, pronoun 'they' (instead of 'she or he') for the singular, indefinite pronoun 'anybody', which is actually acceptable since English has no gender neutral, singular pronoun for a person of unknown gender. Example: "If anybody wants to go to that new restaurant, they have to make reservations a month in advance."

This is not an English word. "Anybody" is a pronoun, so it doesn't have a plural form with an "s." Perhaps you are thinking of anybody's instead, which is a possessive. It is anybody's guess whether that is true or not.
What is the correct words used when using anybody as a pronoun?
The pronoun anybody is an indefinite pronoun. Indefinite pronouns are used in place of nouns for people, things, or amounts that are unknown or unnamed.A pronoun functions in a sentence the same as the noun it represents, as the subject of a sentence or clause, or as the object of a verb or a preposition. Examples:subject of a sentence: Anybody can come, it's a block party.subject of a clause: We need a person, anybody will do, to help with clean-up.object of verb: We didn't see anybody.object of a proposition: She isn't with anybody.
