Fix incorrect exception raised by Series[datetime64] + int

@@ -273,6 +273,7 @@ Other API Changes
 - The default ``Timedelta`` constructor now accepts an ``ISO 8601 Duration`` string as an argument (:issue:`19040`)
 - ``IntervalDtype`` now returns ``True`` when compared against ``'interval'`` regardless of subtype, and ``IntervalDtype.name`` now returns ``'interval'`` regardless of subtype (:issue:`18980`)
 - :func:`Series.to_csv` now accepts a ``compression`` argument that works in the same way as the ``compression`` argument in :func:`DataFrame.to_csv` (:issue:`18958`)
+- :func:`DatetimeIndex.shift` and :func:`TimedeltaIndex.shift` will now raise ``NullFrequencyError`` (which subclasses ``ValueError``) when the index object frequency is ``None`` (:issue:`19147`)
