Is there a problem with the Name Servers? I am getting an error.
The error I get is:
The nameservers you entered are unavailable. Please check if they are correct or use different nameservers.

I am trying to connect my domain name to InfinityFree, and when I try to change the nameservers on Tucows Domains, I get this error.

If you are unable to change nameservers, perhaps you can try this instead?
If you want to host your own domain name with InfinityFree, the default way to verify your domain is to set the nameservers first. However, there are cases where setting the nameservers ahead of time is not desirable (for example if you have an existing site which cannot go down) or if your domain provider does not let you set our nameservers.

The result from dnschecker.org is 100% expected, because the name ns1.infinityfree.com is to be used as the NS record, it doesn’t have NS records itself because that’s not how nameservers work. If you want to check whether the nameserver exists, you should check whether it has an A record to point the nameserver name to the IP address of the actual nameserver itself. And if you do, you’ll see that it’s working perfectly.
Besides that, it sounds like another case of this error:
When you try to point your domain to InfinityFree’s nameservers (ns1.infinityfree.com and ns2.infinityfree.com ), your registrar might refuse the change with error messages like:
DNS Query Refused
ERROR: Answer must be authoritative
The name server is not responsible for this domain
Domain is not activated in the nameservers
