Here you are trying to write try catch block and DML statement directly in the class. You should create a method in class to do so like below code 
global class DeleteoldCases{
    List<Case> QueryCases = [SELECT Id FROM Case WHERE Case.CreatedDate < LAST_N_MONTHS:18 ORDER BY CreatedDate ASC  LIMIT 9000];
    
public void deleteCases() {
try{
    delete QueryCases;
    }catch(DmlException e) {
    System.debug('An unexpected error has occurred: ' + e.getMessage());
    }

}
  
}
