As the message says, in pl/pgsql you need to specify a destination for
the returned data:

create or replace function....
as
$$
declare
  my_value ....
begin
  select function_b() into my_value;
  (etc)

If you don't need the return value of function_b(), or if it returns
void, then use PERFORM instead:

  perform function_b();
