what i have to do?
Take a look at Bootcamp User Interface - Apple Community. If your Mac requires a USB, it must be a USB2 Flash drive. Other USB devices will not work. See Install Windows on your older Mac using Boot Camp - Apple Support for reference.
Can you disconnect all external storage, reset SMC and NVRAM and then use only the Install option with the USB? Also, what is the brand/model of your USB?
Big Sur has many issues. Can you downgrade to macOS Catalina 10.15.7 and retry?
If you install Catalina and Windows works properly, you can then upgrade to Big Sur and restore your files, which will put the macOS side in the same state as you have it now. You are temporarily downgrading to Catalina and then going back to Big Sur.
If you want to avoid this, does a Windows VM using VirtualBox work for your needs?

What type of installation media are you using?
I used bootcamp
and other method without bootcamp and still appears that message
and in both methods I used a usb
yes, I use a usb2 of 16 gb but the problem appears in the moment of the finalization of the installation.
