I have just had the same problem which I fixed. I was attempting to add an OpenVPN connection (you haven't stated which type of VPN you're using) but the idea will work.
I already had openvpn and network-manager-openvpn installed via apt, but I needed to add network-manager-openvpn-gnome
sudo apt install network-manager-openvpn-gnome
then restarted network manager (this kills networking until it's fully restarted)
sudo service network-manager restart
After this, I could open system settings again, go to networking and add my OpenVPN stuff.
This has been an issue for a couple of years and was answered here:
Unable to load VPN connection editor in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Hi, I'm trying to install OpenVPN. I have both network-manager-openvpn and network-manager-openvpn-gnome installed.

I just goes on/off with no error message. In terminal it works find with sudo openvpn 'etc....' It worked good in Ubuntu 17.10 and previous version... Any thoughts?

If you click the GUI icon for network, the pull-down shows the usual network connection, the VPN option (if you managed to add a VPN successfully earlier), battery status (if a laptop), your username, and the three buttons at the bottom - settings, lockscreen, and shutdown. I click on VPN and it shows me the OpenVPN connections I had set up earlier plus a button for VPN settings. If you didn't successfully set up a VPN then this option is not in the drop-down. In that case, click on the Settings button, choose Network when the box appears and the + sign next to VPN to add. Maybe you did this?

I have the same problem with my Ubuntu running in VMWare fusion. This works for me:
Open network settings window, click on "Ifupdown (ens33)". Then you can connect VPN.
On every reboot you would need to redo it.
