    Your code is a task but from the error, you are trying to execute it as a play.

    Playbook files contains a list of plays and each play execute a list of tasks (and/or roles).

    So you need to put your task in a play:

    - name: The play
  hosts: <the target machine from your inventory>
  tasks:
    - name: Get facts by name
      azure_rm_virtualmachine_facts:
        resource_group: startAnsible
        name: startAnsible-vm

    Within the initial error message the correct module is referenced azure_rm_virtualmachine_info to get the virtual machine facts, whereby in the code snippet a probably old alias is used.
