I guess you meant \usepackage[chapter]{algorithm}

The problem is that lyx already loads the algorithm package without the
'chapter' option.
You have 2 options:
1. Put 'chapter' in the 'extra options' field in the document dialog.
The problem is that the chapter option may be passed to other packages,
giving you unwanted results. So it may be better to use the next option.
2. Enable AMS-math in the document dialog, and put
'\numberwithin{algorithm}{chapter}' in the preamble.

Put '\newfloat{algorithm}{tbp}{loa}' in the preamble.
