Hi Bhupathi Yadav 

Can you please check you have any Apex class name with Account. If yes then please rename or delete the same apex class and retry.

Let us know if that will help you

I don't think this is for name, but for BillingStree. infact this should be MailingStreet=acc.BillingStreet.
Let me know if this helps.
