How to store data in a database using laravel - laravel

Question

Please what is wrong with this code...am a newbie and this task was given to complete, I watch YouTube and read online but I can seem to figure out how to store records in database ...
This is UserController
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Storage;
use App\User;
class UserController extends Controller {
/**
* #return $this
*/
public function showUsersWithProperty() {
$users = User::all()->filter(function($user) {
return $user->properties->count();
});
return view('settings.manageusers')
->with('users', $users);
}
public function editUser(Request $request, $id){
$users = User::all()->filter(function($user) {
return $user->properties->count();
});
$user = User::find($id);
return view('settings.manageusers')
->with('users', $users)->with('editId', $user->id);
}
public function updateUser(Request $request, $id){
$input = $request;
$user = User::find($input->id);
if ($input->hasFile('userPic')) {
$image = $input->file('userPic');
$realname = pathinfo($input->file('userPic')->getClientOriginalName(), PATHINFO_FILENAME);
$extension = $image->getClientOriginalExtension();
$new_name = time().".".$extension;
$image->storeAs('public/uploads', $new_name);
$path = Storage::url("uploads/" . $new_name);
$user->image_url = $path;
}
$user->first_name = $input->fname;
$user->last_name = $input->lname;
$user->pin = $input->changePin;
if($input->deactivate =="on" || $input->deleteUser =="on"){
$user->account_status = 0;
} else {
$user->account_status = 1;
}
$user->save();
return redirect()->route('manageUsers')->with('status', "User Updated");
} }
This my Route
Route::post('/settings/updateUser/',
'UserController#updateUser')->name("user.update");
Route::get('/settings/updateUser/',
'UserController#updateUser')->name("user.update");
