hi, I produced this square wave signal, but as you can see the square peaks have no upper limit. how can i solve?
x=0.03*square(f*t,duty)
in reality I seem to see that the graph is the other way around

You probably are not correctly specifiying the duty cycle. If you want the square wave to be "on" half the time you should set duty = 50, also note that the first argument to square is in radians, so each cycle is 2*pi radians. You have to scale your input accordingly.

Doesn't seem to have any issue.
t = linspace(0, 3*pi, 3001)';
f = 2;
duty = 50;
x = 0.03*square(f*t, duty);
plot(t/pi, x, t/pi, 0.03*sin(2*t))
grid on
ylim([-0.05 0.05])
