I don't think F# supports nested type definitions yet.
The idea was posted here:

Two other references on nested types:

Research direction
Start by reading the archived UserVoice comments in archive/suggestion-6085086-nested-types-for-f.md, then review the linked F# and .NET references on nested types. Clarify the proposed language behavior and scope before identifying implementation and test locations; done means an agreed design and support for nested type definitions.
