so it brought me to the internet recovery mode and seems to want me to install the oldest operating system, what do I do? Should I start over again and install the old operating system and keep upgrading?
Not necessarily.
Predicated on the computer was functioning normally with macOS Ventura before you shut it down.
1 - Restart in Safe Mode. This will perform a Disk Repair, clear cache files and only load Apple Software, extensions and fonts. The boot up will be slow and can take some time - Normal.
2 - Safe Mode will also eliminate Third Party Software, extensions and drivers from loading. It will only load the Minimum amount of Core Apple Processes to allow the the computer to function at a reduced Level of Performance
3 - Does the issue present in this mode ?
4 - Sometimes a Safe Boot followed by a Normal Boot will just put things right.
