According to the error info:

Please specify a nuspec or project file to use. Unexpected exit code 1 returned from tool NuGet.exe

You may specified a wrong argument in nuget package task ,please double check you have followed below requirements:

Specify .csproj files (for example, **\*.csproj) for simple projects. In this case:

  • The packager compiles the .csproj files for packaging.
  • You must specify Configuration to Package (see below).
  • You do not have to check in a .nuspec file. If you do check one in, the packager honors its settings and replaces tokens such as $id$ and $description$.

Specify .nuspec files (for example, **\*.nuspec) for more complex projects, such as multi-platform scenarios in which you need to compile and package in separate steps. In this case:

  • The packager does not compile the .csproj files for packaging.

  • Each project is packaged only if it has a .nuspec file checked in.

  • The packager does not replace tokens in the .nuspec file (except the element, see Use build number to version package, below). You must supply values for elements such as and . The most common way to do this is to hardcode the values in the .nuspec file.

Please double check your arguments , more details please refer this tutorial-- Pack NuGet packages.

Besides you could also enable verbose debug mode by adding system.debug=true to get a more detail build log info for troubleshooting.
