I removed one line and then it worked!

class UserViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
    """
    API endpoint that allows users to be viewed or edited.
    """
    queryset = User.objects.all()
    serializer_class = UserSerializer

Also, the serializer can be rewrite as follows:

class UserSerializer(serializers.HyperlinkedModelSerializer):
    ...

    def create(self, validated_data):
        return User.objects.create_user(
            username=validated_data['username'],
            email=validated_data['email'],
            password=validated_data['password']
        )

    ...
