Like it says in the documentation https://docs.acquia.com/cloud/ssh/enable :

If you use Git to manage your Drupal code, you must enable SSH to access your server.

Have you enabled SSH on your server? Also, don't forget to add your public key otherwise cloning will not work : https://docs.acquia.com/cloud/ssh/enable/add-key
