What is wrong with my code. I have been stuck here for so long. Please help me.

Your code so far

shift = 3

# User Editable Region

    alphabet = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
    encrypted_text = ''

        if char == ' ':
            encrypted_text += char
        else:
            index = alphabet.find(char)
            new_index = (index + shift) % len(alphabet)
            encrypted_text += alphabet[new_index]
