Answer
I’m not sure if you are using Linux or Windows, Looking your commands looks like you are using Windows. If you are using Windows the correct commands are:
1) look if you are using the correct user and project
gcloud status
2) in case that you aren’t using the correct user account or project you can config these settings by executing.
gcloud init
3) set your instance as a variable
set PROB_INSTANCE_NAME=lamp-1-vm
4) exec the stop command by using the variable and the zone
gcloud compute instances stop %PROB_INSTANCE_NAME% --zone zone_of_your_instance
