Here In is a reserve keyword. Please use another word here. And as per the salesforce best practise if you are using Object then use Obj prefix in object. objInvoice. Try this and tell me if it helps you.

trigger invoiceGenerate on Opportunity (before insert) {
   
List<Invoice1__c> invoiceList = new List<Invoice1__c>();

for(opportunity opp:trigger.new){
if(opp.Amount==0){

Invoice1__c in= new Invoice1__c(Name='TestInvoice'); 
invoiceList.add(in);

Invoice1__c in= new Invoice1__c(Name='TestInvoice'); 

in this line it says a semicolon expected but found in. I don't get why it is giving this error.
