What led up to this situation you describe...(?)
What exact Mac is this
What mac OS were you running, what macOS are you trying to install?
Have you tried restoring from backup?
Have you tried running the First Aid on your drive...
Boot into Internet Recovery (Option Command R) and from the dropdown menu: Utilities> Disk Utility> run the First Aid on your Macintosh HD (and the "Macintosh HD-Data" volume as well if Catalina/Big Sur) If errors are found and repaired, run again until no errors reported.
Disk Utility>View>Show All Devices The best sequence is —
• Volume level
• Container level
• Parent drive

Assuming there's nothing wrong with your Mac and you somehow got here by mistake then you have two options:
Press the power on button and keep it depressed until your Mac powers itself off. Press the power on button again and your Mac should start normally.
Or:
Press the command and Q keys. These will quit you out of the window you're currently seeing and present you with options to either cancel, restart or shutdown. Choosing restart will get you back to what you see when you use your Mac normally.
