Something like this:

let dropdownValue;

$w.onReady(function () {
   $w("#dropdown1").onChange((event) => {
      dropdownValue = event.target.value;
   });
});

Will it work?

import wixUsers from 'wix-users';
import {assignRole} from 'backend/role'; 

$w.onReady(function(){ 
    $w('#register'). onClick(function (){ 
let email = $w("#email"). value;
 let password = $w("#password"). value;
 let first = $w("#fname"). value;
 let last = $w("#lastName"). value;

let dropdownValue;

$w.onReady(function () {
   $w("#dropdown1"). onChange((event) => {
      dropdownValue = event. target. value;
 });
});


wixUsers. register(email, password, {
      contactInfo: {
 "firstName": first,
 "lastName": last
 }
 })
 
 .then((results) => {
 let roleId="dropdownValue";
       assignRole(roleId, results. user. id);
 }
 )
 }
)})

Your new code has many errors. You have a page onReady() function inside of an onReady() function which is incorrect, you are not handling the Promise returned by assignRole(), and other errors.
