Set the System.Debug=true and the run the pipeline again, then we can see the detailed log of this issue. Pelease consider sharing more details about your log in your question, I searched the error above but found nothing :(

Check document Build ClickOnce applications from the command line: Msbuild has Publish target to build and publish the ClickOnce application. It will generate the setup.exe you want. See similar hint here.
And all above is about doing that in local machine, to do similar job in release pipeline you can use msbuild task or Visual Studio Task with Publish target(/t:Publish as argument).
Then you'll get one app.publish folder where the files you want exist there:
This folder can be used for your further deployment.
In addition:
If you meet error like Unable to find manifest signing certificate in the certificate store, please check the suggestions in this issue.
