This is due to a bug in microtype. It uses an undefined lua-function, the bug appears now due as a side-effect of some changes in luaotfload.
A work-around until microtype is fixed is to load luatexbase:
documentclass{article}
usepackage{luatexbase}
usepackage{microtype}
begin{document}
abc
end{document}

Oh no, right now texlive 2018 is frozen with this bug in it. I hope the texlive people can make an exception for this that breaks so many documents!

@UlrikeFischer I have exactly this problem! TL2018 should not have been frozen with this bug IMHO.

@Krishna it is not our bug, microtype must be corrected. I don't know if the author is reachable, I didn't get an answer to my mails.

@Krishna then we would have had a broken luaotfload in texlive (the letterspacing didn't work). This would have been much worser.

@Krishna no it broke from version 2.94 to 2.95, the problem was only there for around two weeks: github.com/u-fischer/luaotfload/issues/38.
