Based on the information you provided, it appears that your MacBook has experienced a kernel panic. A kernel panic is a type of error that occurs when the core of the operating system (known as the kernel) encounters an error from which it cannot recover, and as a result, the system shuts down and restarts.


The information you provided includes a backtrace, which is a list of instructions that were executing when the kernel panicked. It also includes information about the threads that were running at the time of the panic. It's likely that the cause of the kernel panic is related to the "watchdogd" process, which is a system process that monitors other processes to ensure that they are running correctly.


There are many possible causes of a kernel panic, including hardware issues, software conflicts, and driver problems. In order to diagnose the issue and fix it, you may need to perform some troubleshooting steps, such as running diagnostic tests or reinstalling the operating system. If the issue persists, you may need to contact Apple support or bring your MacBook to an authorized service center for further assistance.
