PrefabUtility doesn´t work

Hi! This is my first post and my first Unity project. I know a bit of C# but the scripting language in Unity, well, I hope I´m not the only one Googeling like crazy...

Anyhow. I am trying to use the PrefabUtility.xxxxx but everytime I do so, Visual Studio complain that this isnt a valid use of it. I have tried to copy code from here to use in my game that SHOULD work and has for others, but not for me. I just get that angry red line under it, usually with some error like "Does not exsist in the current context.

I have created the Editor-folder and the script as described here: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/PrefabUtility.html

What I am after is that I have a ship. When it sinks and hit "DeadZone" I want the script attached to the deadzone to get the original prefab of that ship and spawn it at a spawnobject. It sort of works now but when the ship respawns, it is a clone of the sunken ship with zero hitpoints and a mass like the sun.

I could reset the values with a lot of if-statements but that is not a very elegant solution and I have time to tinker just to get to that... I have tried the forum and Google but they all refer to this PrefabUtility...
