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:

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.
