There error here is because a JOIN clause requires a join condition.  Adding an
"ON true" is probably what you want.  You would also need to change isnull()
with coalesce().

The final query should be:

SELECT  o.order_id,
  o.total_price - COALESCE(sub.paid, 0)
FROM _order o
LEFT JOIN LATERAL (
    SELECT SUM(p.amount) AS paid
    FROM payment p
    WHERE p.order_id = o.order_id
) AS sub ON true
WHERE o.total_price > coalesce(sub.paid, 0);
