There seem to be still a number of open issues about JShell in JIRA <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-1099?jql=project%20%3D%20NETBEANS%20AND%20resolution%20%3D%20Unresolved%20AND%20text%20~%20%22jshell%22%20ORDER%20BY%20cf%5B12310200%5D%20DESC%2C%20priority%20ASC%2C%20updated%20DESC> (also a google search <https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=troubleshooting+jshell+in+netbeans> ).
It could be many things. Messed up classpath in your system, migrating the profile of a previous NB installation etc. You may try some advice here <https://java.developreference.com/article/10559001/Could+not+initialize+JShell+in+Apache+NetBeans+IDE+10.0>. Otherwise, try a clean install of NetBeans, modifying etc/netbeans.conf pointing to a correct jdk (>8).
