This is what I get when I try to download a video

youtube-dl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O51QmbMgQYw&list=WL&index=5                                                             
zsh: parse error near `&'

I can't figure out what's the problem?

Use a clean video link, before the "&" operator. Anything after that is unnecessary.

youtube-dl 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O51QmbMgQYw&list=WL&index=5'

& has a special meaning in zsh
