Crews in Planner in Planner/Project accelerator
I am trying to have a task in Planner/Project accelerator assigned to a crew. I would like the crew to be multiple people lets say 3 people. Can I then have the task assigned to this crew resource and calculate the effort X3?

In addition to Rod's excellent answer, if the ability to add and manage crews is necessary for your project management needs, I would recommend you migrate to the Microsoft Project desktop application, and abandon Planner Premium. It is very easy to manage crews in Microsoft Project. Hope this helps.
Planner currently does not natively support this. You either do it manually or possibly create a flow that is triggered when the crew resource is assigned then multiples the effort. I don't know if the flow option actually works and would probably be problematic. Another option would be to handle this in Power BI reporting by multiple the crew resource effort by X.
