I've downloaded Mac OS Mojave and trying to install but it's not working saying that "you may not install to this volume because it is currently being encrypted"

What is the solution to install?

Have you initiated encryption on your drive via System Preferences> Security & Privacy> FileVault, if so you can't do anything until it is finished.
