You need the MoMo API sandbox documentation, here you simply copied sample code and replaced with basic information.
The URL you are using is wrong, 
You have no API key and API USER, 
the aprty ID is wrong,
the Currency is Wrong.
Go to your  MoMo Developer Portal and endavor reading through, then you can come back and inquire more.
You can also find more information on the home page here in the developer community.
Please, endavor to read through
