If you observe closely, the indentation of the template was messed up at InstanceType after the InstanceCount. Fix it as mentioned below and you should be good to go. 

  InstanceCount:
      Description: Number of EC2 instances (must be between 1 and 3).
      Type: Number
      Default: 1
      MinValue: 1
      MaxValue: 3
      ConstraintDescription: Must be a number between 1 and 3.
      Description: launch EC2 instances.
      Type: AWS::EC2::Instance

  InstanceType:
      Description: Launch EC2 instances.
      Type: String
      Default: t2.micro
      AllowedValues: [ t2.micro ]

Hope this helps.
