BUILD FAILED in 1s

Can anyone help me with this? What am I doing wrong?
in gradle wrapper added this:

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.1-all.zip

and added this in build.gradle file in dependencies

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.1'

And sdk version config:

        buildToolsVersion = "27.0.3"
        minSdkVersion = 16
        compileSdkVersion = 27
        targetSdkVersion = 29
