@commands.command()
async def mute(self, ctx, member : discord.Member = None):
  try:
    if isinstance(member, discord.Member):
      await member.edit(mute=True)

    elif member is None:  #setting the command to mute selected member        
    member=get(ctx.guild.members, id=Charles_id) 
      await member.edit(mute=True)        

  except discord.HTTPException:
    await ctx.channel.send(f"User {member.mention} isn't connected to voice channel")
  except discord.ext.commands.errors.MemberNotFound("@everyone"):
    vc = ctx.author.voice.channel
    for user in vc.members:  
      await user.edit(mute=True)

So I'm trying to make a command that mutes the mentioned player. By default its supposed to mute our friend, Charles. The only problem was with default role (@Everyone). I struggled a lot but finally I managed to come up with a working idea. Sadly it doesn't really work. The plan was to try getting member and if member is @everyone it would run an error that would trigger except and would end up doing its' stuff. I'm pretty new to programming so I hope to get a useful lesson, Cheers!

Traceback is below:

I think the error speaks for itself. @everyone is not a member so you cant convert it.

Another option is to manually convert it:

async def mute(self, ctx, *, member_string: str):
    if member_string == "@everyone":
        return await ctx.send("You can't mention everyone")
 
    # Converting the string to a `discord.Member` obj
    member = commands.MemberConverter.convert(ctx, member_string)
    if member.voice is None:
        return await ctx.send("Member isn't in a voicec channel") # Exiting if the user isn't connected to any vs channel

    await member.edit(mute=True)
