WebServerInstance Encountered unsupported property VpcId - json

Question

I keep getting this issue in the Webserversinstance.
*Paramaters*
VPCSelection": {
"Description": "VPC",
"Type": "String",
"Default": "vpc-xxxxxxx"
*Webserver Security group*
"Resources": {
"WebServerSecurityGroup": {
"Type": "AWS::EC2::SecurityGroup",
"Properties": {
"VpcId": {
"Ref": "VPCSelection"
},
*WebServer Instance*
{
"Resources": {
"WebServerSecurityGroup": {
"Type": "AWS::EC2::SecurityGroup",
"Properties": {
"VpcId": {
"Ref": "VPCSelection"
},
When i run this template, i get this issue:
12:45:52 UTC+0000 ROLLBACK_IN_PROGRESS AWS::CloudFormation::Stack Test13 The following resource(s) failed to create: [WebServerInstance]. . Rollback requested by user.
12:45:51 UTC+0000 CREATE_FAILED AWS::EC2::Instance WebServerInstance Encountered unsupported property VpcId
When i remove this VPCid from the webserver instance i get a different error saying: AWS::EC2::Instance WebServerInstance No default VPC for this user
