First, the error msg means that your function needs to have an `interactive'
spec.  That's what makes an EmacsLisp function be a command.  See node `Using
Interactive' of the Elisp manual.

Second, the function body is no good.  This is what I would do:

(defun find-next-tag ()
  "..."
  (interactive)
  (find-tag t))

The non-nil argument tells `find-tag' that you want the next definition.

You can find this out by doing `C-h k M-.'.  That tells you that the function
you need to call is `find-tag', and it tells you that a non-nil first argument
NEXT-P corresponds to providing a prefix argument interactively.
