Corrupt Volume
I'm on a MacBook Pro, Monterey. I tried fixing the corrupt volume in Recovery Mode using Disk Utility, but it didn't repair it . Any suggestions?

My apologies. I hadn't run that procedure since upgrading to Catalina and evidently the commands have changed. I just tired it myself and the text on the screen appeared to be around 4 font size and I could'n't read any of it. With the help of a magnifying glass I entered the first command and hit return. It gave me an error message in the command. So I tried the second comment re reboot and got the same message that you did.
I'll have to do some research into the fsck command for Monterey. Sorry about that.
At a loss at this point as to what to try.

You know you weren't booted into the Recovery volume when that screenshot was taken, right? It's only verifying the drive, not repairing it.
When you tried running First Aid in Recovery what was the warning that you got?
To run fsck on the drive do the following:
1 - Boot into single user mode by holding down the Command + S keys
2 - Enter the following command followed by Enter or Return key:
/sbin/fsck -fy
3 - If repairs are made and reported repeat the command until there are no additional repairs made.
4 - To reboot back into normal mode enter the following command:
/sbin/mount -uw
When I ran Disk Repair in Recovery mode, I got the same message-- that it couldn't be repaired, and that I should try running fsck on the entire APFS container, but I'm not sure how to do that.
I performed the action you suggested. I don't think it repaired anything. When I typed in the action to reboot to normal, I got this message-- invalid special file or file system.
Thanks for all your help. I solved my problem-- I reinstalled my system (Monterey) in Recovery mode, and all is well.
Great news. 👍
