I am trying to create a caesar shift dis-cipher but this error keeps coming up.
What am I doing wrong?

caesar code: "g fmnc wms bgblr rpylqjyrc gr zw fylb rfyrq ufyr amknsrcpq ypc dmp bmgle gr gl zw fylb gq glcddgagclr ylb rfyrq ufw rfgq rcvr gq qm jmle sqgle qrpglekyicrpylq gq pcamkkclbcb lmu ynnjw ml rfc spj"

A space is not in the first 26 indices of alphabet, though.
