Yikes.
Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at startup), does the problem occur in Safe Mode? Could take 10 minutes.
Safe mode attempts to repair Disks & clears lots of caches & loads safe Drivers, & prevents loading of 3rd party extensions, so if Safe Mode works try again in regular boot.

I think you have a failing Discrete GPU chip. This is a 2011 15" MacBook Pro, and they are notorious for failing Discrete GPU chips. I own one myself.
I suggest you look at
gSwitch (macOS 10.12 or newer)
https://codyschrank.github.io/gSwitch
and disable your Discrete GPU and run on the integrated intel GPU. That is how I keep, my 2011 15" MacBook Pro in service.
