(1) you have imported the webobject the wrong way
     create a folder and insert the index.html, then import the folder - NOT the index.html

(2) if you publish, the webobject will be inserted as an iframe, so you need "parent." to connect to storyline

(3) GetVar() is wrong, you need SetVar() to change the variable in storyline

let value = "Hello World"

if (!parent.GetPlayer) {
   console.error( "storyline player not found" );
} else {
   let player = parent.GetPlayer();
   player.SetVar('testVar', value );
}

Important: If you change anything in the webobject, you have to delete the webobject in storyline and reimport it - there is no autoupdate
