vote for report discord bot

Question

I am trying to make a bot that people can call to make a report vote, if the vote succeeds with there being more than 2 (or X number) more yes than no. It will send a message to a separate channel where only the bot can post and it will send a DM to the server admin (this is what I dont know what to do).

Also I get an error saying:

"const sentEmbed = await msg.channel.send(voting); // Send Embed
                   ^^^^^
SyntaxError: await is only valid in async function"

This is the code I have so far:

if(!msg.mentions.users.first()) return msg.channel.send('You need to mention somebody!'); // Check if no User was Mentioned
const voting = async function new Discord.RichEmbed() // Generate Voting Embed
    .setColor('#42b34d')
    .setFooter('Mute ' + msg.mentions.users.first().tag + ' for 10m?')
    .setImage(msg.mentions.users.first().avatarURL);
const role = msg.guild.roles.find(r => r.name === 'Muted'); // Find Role
if(!role) return msg.channel.send('No Role was found, please make sure you have a muteed role!'); // Make sure there is a Role
const agree = '✅'; // Define Emojis
const disagree = '❌'; // Define Emojis

const sentEmbed = await msg.channel.send(voting); // Send Embed
const filter = (reaction, user) => (reaction.emoji.name === agree || reaction.emoji.name === disagree) && !user.bot; // Filter for Reactions
await sentEmbed.react(agree); // React
await sentEmbed.react(disagree); // React
const voteStatus = await msg.channel.send('Voting started 30 seconds left'); // Send start Message and
const collected = await sentEmbed.awaitReactions(filter, { time: 5000 }); // start Collecting Reactions
const agreed = collected.get(agree) || { count: 1 }; // Retrieve Reactions
const disagreed = collected.get(disagree) || { count : 1 }; // Retrieve Reactions
const agreed_count = agreed.count - 1 ; // Count away Bot Votes
const disagreed_count = disagreed.count - 1; // Count away Bot Votes
voteStatus.edit('Voting endet with: ' + agreed_count + agree + ' and ' + disagreed_count + disagree); // Edit message to show Outcome
if(agreed.count > disagreed.count) {

}
else {
    msg.channel.send('Mute Voting Failed :)');
}

I got this code from another post. And I was trying to adapt it but failed at it. I'm very new at Java.

The cause of that error is that you're calling await outside of an asynchronous function.

Example of asynchronous function;

async function myFunction() {
    await someOtherFunction();
}
