function telephoneCheck(str) {
 let strArr = str.split(/[\D]/g);
 console.log(strArr);
 let lenght = 0;
for(let i = 0; i<strArr.length;i++){
   length += strArr[i].length;
 }
console.log(length);
console.log(str.charAt(0));
if("1"==str.charAt(0)){
  console.log("11 digits");
  return (11 == length);
}
else{
  console.log("10 digits");
  return (10 == length);
}

You spelled length wrong

What @JohnKalinauskas said, but also I think it’s not quite as simple as what you’re doing: so for example, the test for (555)5(55?)-5555") should return false. But if you remove all the non-digits, you get 5555555555, which is valid
