47 " no matching function for call to `Menu::Menu(const char[7])' "

This is caused by the line
Menu soccerClothesMenu("soccer");
The problem here is that you're calling a constructor to create a Menu object, but there is no such constructor. I see you have a constructor that takes a std::string and a std::vector of Menus, but I do not see one that accepts a const char[7].

49 "std::string' has no member named 'add' "

This is caused by the line
sportsClothingMenu.add(soccerClothesMenu);

sportsClothingMenu is an object of type std::string. These objects do not have a member function named add. If you're trying to use the function you wrote named add, you have fundamentally misunderstood how to use functions, I'm afraid.

Your function add would be used like this:

add(someMenuObject);

where someMenuObject is an object of type Menu. If you want to do something that adds a std::string to your Menu object, you'l have to write a function to do it.
