"Solecism" is the closest thing that comes to mind. And "Malapropism" is the mistaken use of an incorrect word in place of a word with a similar sound.

As pointed out in @Edwin's comment referring to this earlier Answer, the relevant term here is...
Enallage
...related to solecism (a deviation from conventional word order). Enallage, however, is usually regarded as a deliberate stylistic device, whereas a solecism is commonly treated as an error of usage.
