    for char in text.lower():
        if char == ' ':
            encrypted_message += char
        else:
            index = alphabet.find(char)

rename the text and shift variables to message and offset

this is the instruction. rename variables as per instruction

rename above text to message

no need to change below. it should be text with encrypted not message.

also don’t change string plain text change variables only
