Steps to reproduce:
CREATE EXTENSION pgstattuple;
CREATE TABLE "Test" AS SELECT * FROM generate_series(1, 10000);
SELECT * FROM pgstattuple('Test');

ERROR: relation "test" does not exist SQL state: 42P01

You need to quote the identifier:
SELECT * FROM pgstattuple('"Test"');

Note the double quotes inside the string, so "singlequote-doublequote-Test-doublequote-singlequote".
