You should restart in Recovery mode and launch Disk Utility. From its View menu, choose Show all devices.


Then select each in turn, starting with the physical device itself, selected by its immutable Hardware-name, and Repair-Disk/First-Aid. Then proceed to repair each Volume shown.


If this does not solve the problem, you may be forced to ERASE the drive and re-install MacOS. This will delete all your files, which must then be re-imported form your Trusted backup drive.


What is the date of your most recent backup, and by what method?
