You are mixing GET-type (indicated by ? in the URL) and POST-type
parameters. Put the action and creator_badge_index parameters also in
the dictionary. And probably you need to provide the other hidden fields
from the form also.

Something like (untested):

paramdict = {
          'action': 'grant-revoke',
          'creator_badge_index': '1',
          'token': '92dcd92a8bc16f73f330d118ae1ed891',
          'do-grant': '1',
          'grant-userid' : 'Guest_xLolKittyx',
          }
params = urllib.parse.urlencode(paramdict)
url = 'http://www.imvu.com/catalog/web_manage_badges.php'
form = urllib.request.OpenerDirector.open(url, params)
