Check if $oldMessage is set. ?Message is the same as Message|null. You're accessing a property on an object that doesn't exist.

It'd be something like...

if (is_null($oldMessage))
{
echo "No old message detected.";
return;
}

and you wouldn't try to retrieve the $oldMessage->content in the same line as the $message->content.

FWIW $oldMessage depends on DiscordPHP's cache and is not something returned by the Discord API. If you want proper update/delete logging – you will have to store/compare messages yourself.
