Instead of \textbf use \boldsymbol (load the amsmath package to get it) to get it bold, put everything in math mode, and to get it upright use the upgreek package and \uptheta instead of theta: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{upgreek} \begin{document} $\boldsymbol{\uptheta}$ \end{document} If you do not need it just for one theta, ...

So, just typing $\Delta$ gives you an upright capital Greek Delta. You have to add some packages to change this behaviour. Comment out your packages until you have found the culprit. P.S. ...

Your Problem is that you declare ϑ to mean $\vartheta$. Thus as long as you only use text-mode TeX shows no error. Unfortunately your example $ϑ$ will lead to $$\vartheta$$. So you will end up with two (empty) parts of inline math and a \vartheta in text-mode what is not allowed as \vartheta is math-only. As a quick fix one could suggest using ...
