You have made Set of Account type but you are using it to add Account ID's:-
public set<Account> accids{set;get;}

Better use the following:- 
public set<Id> accids{set;get;}

This set is a collection of Accounts and you are adding just ID's to it,
accids.add(acclist[i].Id); 
you will need to add the entire object
accids.add(acclist[i]); 
or change the collection type to ID instead of Account.

Possibly your accname is null in the below query:-
acclist=[select Id,name from Account where name=:accname];
Nikx1505Nikx1505
acclist = new List<Account>();
initialize your list and then assign it to your query.

Check from system.debug what is the name coming into Apex code, if it's null let me know.
Also share your VF page code where you are setting the accname.
  
public class conbyacc {
    public String accname{set;get;}
    public list<Account> acclist{set;get;}
    public list<Contact> conlist{set;get;}
    public set<Id> accids{set;get;}
    public list<Contact> getcons(){
        acclist.clear();
        conlist.clear();
        accids.clear();
        ​System.debug(accname);
        acclist=[select Id,name from Account where name=:accname];
        for(Integer i=0; i<acclist.size(); i++){
            accids.add(acclist[i].Id);  // Getting Error
        }

        conlist=[select name,accountid from Contact where accountid IN:accids];
        return conlist;
        
    }

}

Please check my Vf Page Code:

<apex:page controller="conbyacc">
    <apex:form>
    <apex:inputText value="{!accname}"/>
        <apex:commandButton value="GetRecords" action="{!getcons}" reRender="one"/>
        <apex:outputPanel id="one">
        <apex:pageBlock>
        <apex:pageBlockTable value="{!conlist}" var="c">
            <apex:column headerValue="Name">{!c.name}</apex:column>
            </apex:pageBlockTable>
    </apex:pageBlock>
            </apex:outputPanel>
    </apex:form>

</apex:page>

Use below apex:- 
public class conbyacc {
    public String accname{set;get;}
    public list<Account> acclist{set;get;}
    public list<Contact> conlist{set;get;}
    public set<Id> accids{set;get;}
    public void getcons(){
        String accountName = '\''+accname+'\'';
        acclist=[select Id,name from Account where name=:accountName];
        for(Integer i=0; i<acclist.size(); i++){
            accids.add(acclist[i].Id);  // Getting Error
        }

        conlist=[select name,accountid from Contact where accountid IN:accids];
        
        
    }

}
