Erased Drive incorrectly & now MacOS cannot find disk to install on.

I was trying to do a factory reset on my M1 MacBook Pro, but believe I did so incorrectly. No drive shows when asked to select for installation of MacOS. I also cannot erase the Apple SSD Media in Disk Utility. I get error code (-69877)

you need to boot into recovery mode, I believe internet recovery will be best. You can't fix your hard drive while your currently using it. Internet recovery will boot you into a so called virtual state so you can erase and format your drive and install Mac Os. Or get someone to make you a bootable installer.https://www.macworld.co.uk/how-to/bootable-mac-installer-3575875/
