The GetFileUrl transformation method was removed in Kentico 11. You need to use the API changes documentation and change the code, so you need to use GetAttachmentUrlByDocumentId instead. The file is usually uploaded into some page type field - some file uplaoder. this field holds the file's GUID, so you need to pass the field value into the transformation method. For example: <%# GetAttachmentUrlByDocumentId(Eval("AttachmentFileName"), Eval("AttachmentDocumentID")) %>

I assume you are doing this in some transformation. Please, see this documentation on writing transformations.. If the file field is some page type field, then you can use the field name in the transformation as a parameter: <%# GetAttachmentUrlByGUID(Eval("AttachmentColumnName"), "< custom_file_name >") %>
I would like to also like to suggest to consider taking some training to learn how things work in Kentico.
