Unless you overdo it and carmelize it, it is a physical change. A typical process is to dissolve a large amount of sugar into hot water (physical change - the sugar is still sugar and the water is still water; they do not react. If the sugar-water is not syrupy enough, you can boil off some of the water (still a physical change).

If you overdo it though, you will begin to caramelize the sugar. If the sugar is sucrose, it breaks down into fructose and sucrose along with a host of other side reactions that condense, isomerize, dehydrate, fragment, polymerize, and otherwise chemically change the original sugar. Caramelization is definitely a chemical change, but it is not necessary to make syrup.

Is making ice cream from sugar and cream a chemical change or physical change?

Making ice cream from sugar and cream involves both chemical and physical changes. The mixing and freezing of the ingredients results in a physical change as the state of matter changes from liquid to solid. At the same time, the reaction between the sugar and cream, as well as any added flavorings, involves chemical changes that alter the composition of the ingredients.
