The error message has nothing to do with CSS.

CSS does not “allow” tags, but this usage of CSS and markup is as such
correct. You can style an XML file that way. However, the HTML markup
language has rules of its own, and they do not allow an attribute named
“large” on a <B> element. This is purely a matter of HTML syntax; it has
absolutely nothing to do with CSS—but it implies that you cannot validly
style an HTML document that way.

Indeed. That’s correct, though a bit misleading; the phrase “at this
point” has an interesting history, but usually, and here, it simply
should not be there. An attribute named “large” is not allowed on the
“b” element at any point.
What you can use in HTML is
<B class=large>
and then you need to modify the CSS rule to
.large { font-size: large; }
