Your decorator should look like this:

def wrapper(func):
    def inner(x, y): # inner function needs parameters
        if issubclass(type(x), int): # maybe you looked for isinstance?
            return func(x, y) # call the wrapped function
        else: 
            return 'invalid values'
    return inner # return the inner function (don't call it)

Some points to note:

• issubclass expects a class as first argument (you could replace it with a simple try/except TypeError).
• the wrapper should return a function, not the result of a called function
• you should actually call the wrapped function in the inner function
• your inner function didn't have parameters

You can find a good explanation of decorators here.
