You probably meant font-size.
But the expression is not complete. \tweak _needs_ the argument _what_
should be tweaked or \etc

Thus:

\version "2.19.40"

shared-tweaks =
  \tweak font-size #12 \etc

tweaked-spanner =
  \shared-tweaks
  \tweak color #red
  \startTextSpan

music = {
  c''1\tweaked-spanner 1\stopTextSpan
}

\score { \music }
