If the target creature is a legal target but can't be destroyed, most likely because it has indestructible, you still gain life.

2018-10-05wotc

You must sacrifice exactly one creature to cast this spell; you can't cast it without sacrificing a creature, and you can't sacrifice additional creatures.

2018-10-05wotc

The amount of life gained is equal to the sacrificed creature's toughness as it last existed on the battlefield.
