Not 100% sure, but if you erased your Mac's system drive, you will need to reinstall macOS to get back "up and running." From there, you would need to restore your data from a backup.
The support article you came here from provides the steps to properly erase the Mac's system drive. The following one is how you would go about re-installing a "fresh" copy of macOS: How to reinstall macOS - Apple Support

Re-installation depends on which MacBook Pro 13" you have. If it's prior to 2018 vs 2018+ (meaning you have a T2 + Intel CPUs) or if you have an M1 MacBook Pro 13".
Pretty sure you have either a T2 equipped Mac or an M1. That error means you do not have a local administrator because it was deleted when you erased the internal disk.

Hold the power button while powering on. You should reach a Recovery Mode menu.
If you cannot get around the missing local administrator you may need a second Mac with Apple Configurator and an USB-C Thunderbolt cable (not the charger cable that comes with Macs) and you'll need to perform a revive process.
When I try to reinstall macOS, I keep getting this message. However, there are no users on this MacBook. What should I do now?
