The problem is that you haven't read the help page. The first argument of 
ur.df() should be a vector but you supply a data.frame. As your data just 
contains a single column, you probably want
   PIBTUN <- PIBTUN[,1]
which stores the data as a vector. After that the ur.df() call above 
should work.
