This function is defined in org-agenda.el[c]. So the question is:
is org-agenda loaded? If

(featurep 'org-agenda)

evaluates to nil, it is not: check your initialization.
If it *is* loaded, then something is *really* wrong with your
installation.

BTW, to paraphrase a certain Jedi master "this is not the function you
are looking for": org-timeline was a poor man's agenda before agendas
were implemented. At this point, it is an orphan, waiting to be
deprecated and deleted. Check the ML for earlier discussions.
