That appears to be telling you that Puppet doesn't think type "user" has a
parameter named "sudo". And indeed, the built-in User type doesn't, though
it does have uid, comment, password, and shell. Almost certainly,
create_resources is trying to declare an instance of the built-in User type
instead of your defined type. The same might happen if you use an ordinary
declaration.
You should put your defined type in a module, and refer to it by its
qualifed name. Indeed, all classes and defined types you write should go
into modules.
As an aside, do not confuse Puppet's keyword for declaring a user-defined
resource type ("define") with the C preprocessor's keyword for defining a
macro ("#define"). User-defined resource types are bona fide resource
types, not macros.
