You might do well to look up TriangularSurfacePlot and DelaunayTriangulation if you want to make a surface from your points. http://documents.wolfram.com/mathematica/Add-onsLinks/StandardPackages/DiscreteMath/ComputationalGeometry.html It seems as if you have not followed the correct syntax for calling FindFit. Try adapting one of the examples to your case.

However, Mathematica does not seem to want to accept y as a variable. Here is a simple suggestion of what I was trying. Note, my function is much more complicated.
