Hello demaree208,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
We understand from your post that when you tried to reinstall macOS Big Sur, you received an error saying, "The operation couldn't be completed." Do you have any external hard drives, audio devices, or other peripherals plugged into your Mac? If so, disconnect them all. Then try reinstalling macOS again.
Have you added any 3rd party memory to your MacBook? If so, remove the 3rd party memory and try again. If the issue is not resolved, try creating a new user account and installing macOS Big Sur using the new user account.
