To measure the period of a pendulum, the pendulum must leave a position and then return to it. The pendulum is not leaving its current position. Therefore it is incorrect to conclude that the pendulum’s period is 0.0 seconds.
The students should continue monitoring the pendulum until it leaves its position and then returns to it.
