Well, we don't know what you where trying, cause you didn't bother to tell us, but I'm almost sure you forgot to load the package xltxtra, something you definitively should having around when using XeLaTeX.

The following works perfectly for me:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\usepackage{xspace}
\newcommand{\cotwo}{CO\textsubscript{2}\xspace}

\begin{document}

\cotwo

\end{document}
