First do not call a function when it has already been delclared by its prototype:

void char_count(char word_to_use[], char char_to_count);
char* concatenating_function(char* pointer_1, char* pointer_2);

i.e Corrct way to call:
char_count(word_to_use[], char_to_count);

plus you have some unintialized variables
'ch_ptr' used without having been initialized
'string_cat_ptr' used without having been initialized

then you need a break statement after default (good etiquite).

Once you call the methods and pass the data correctly it should work.
