Neither of my buttons work. Any suggestions?

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>JavaScript and the DOM</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css">
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1 id="myHeading">JavaScript and the DOM</h1>
    <p>Making a web page interactive</p> 
    <button id = "toggleList">Hide list</button>
    <div class = "list">
      <p class = "description">Things that are purple:</p>
      <input type = "text" class = "description">
      <button class = "description">Change list</button>
      <ul>
        <li>grapes</li>
        <li>amethyst</li>
        <li>lavender</li>
        <li>plums</li>
      </ul>
    </div>
    <script src="app.js"></script>
  </body>
</html>

const toggleList = document.getElementById("toggleList"); 
const listDiv = document.querySeletor(".list"); 
const input = document.querySelector("input");
const p = document.querySelector("p.description");
const button = document.querySelector("button");

toggleList.addEventListener("click", () => {
  listDiv.style.display = "none";                            
});

button.addEventListener("click", () => {
      p.innerHTML = input.value + ":"                  
});

First, const listDiv = document.querySelector(".list"); querySeletor not a function, please corrected. Second, now you use two buttons, the code don't know which button you selected. Hope this help.

const toggleList = document.getElementById("toggleList"); 
const listDiv = document.querySelector(".list"); 
const input = document.querySelector("input");
const p = document.querySelector("p.description");
const button = document.querySelector("button.description");

toggleList.addEventListener("click", () => {
  listDiv.style.display = "none";                            
});

button.addEventListener("click", () => {
      p.innerHTML = input.value + ":";             
});
