MacBook Pro won’t load right

I have turned on and off the MacBook Pro multiple times but I can’t get it to load past a white screen or even get the password bar to load on to log in. I just tried it again and now I get the cancel of death? It is old, maybe a reboot won’t fix it. But anyhow it’s flashing the cancel thing now. What can I do? If I can fix I would really rather do that then buy a one.

MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.13

A circle with a line or slash through it means that the selected startup disk contains a Mac operating system, but it's not a macOS that your Mac can use. You should reinstall macOS on that disk.
