Hello, I have the eurail global plus pass class 1. And I want to buy a sleeper ticket from Nice to Paris. But the website shows there are two same class name while one is free and the other need one point. Is there something wrong? How can I book a sleeper one? I’ve attached the screenshot.

This night train does not have sleeper carriages, only couchettes and seats.
Unfortunately, the Interrail/Eurail websites have a long-standing issue of not showing what's a seat and what's a couchette, which is apparently difficult to fix.
You can also book this train on https://www.b-europe.com/EN/Booking/Pass (booking fee €4 per order) or www.raileurope.com (booking fee €2 per person and train, like Eurail). Both websites will show the difference between a couchette and a seat. On Rail Europe, always change currency to euro because they have a 5% exchange fee for other currencies.
In general, use this page as a guide to reservations:

It will often suggest better and cheaper places to book instead of Eurail/Interrail.

Addition: I missed that this is for a Plus pass. You're not supposed to be able to book a couchette (or a sleeper) with this pass, so I'm not sure what's happening here.
I see that SNCF couchettes are not excluded in the list of included carriers and that the Plus Pass purchase conditions don't mention couchettes. They only mention "sleeping places”, "sleeping accommodation” and "sleeper accommodation”. This is confusing to say the least, when you know that couchettes and sleepers are 2 different things and the conditions are not consistent in their terminology.
