I want to write a superscript and a subscript at the same place.Every time I do it, it is a superscript then a space followed by the subscript. How do I stack it vertically?

The slight difference is in the fact that TeX uses "cramped display style" when typesetting the argument to \widehat, which is characterized by reduced lowering of subscripts and raising of superscripts.
This is one of the cases where TeX needs help; here's a way:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{mathtools}
\begin{document}
\[
\cramped{\mathbf{L}_\mathbf{s}}
\widehat{\mathbf{L}_\mathbf{s}^{+}}
\]
\end{document}
Alternatively, don't let the wide hat cover also the superscript and subscript:
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\[
\mathbf{L}^{}_\mathbf{s}
\widehat{\mathbf{L}}_\mathbf{s}^{+}
\]
\end{document}
Notice the empty superscript.
If you look at the status bar (bottom of the LyX window) when you click the appropriate menu item, you'll see the function appear there for a second or two. The two functions you're after are
script-insert superscript
script-insert subscript

Best Answer
I presume you are in math mode and I assume you want to have both superscript and subscript horizontally aligned next to the symbol you are super-/subscripting. You can achieve this like this:
$A_b^c$. Note that the order is irrelevant,$A^c_b$looks identical. You can group symbols using curly brackets like so:${A_b}^c$or$A_{b^c}$.
