Hey Bruhhasapod7thgen109,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities.


It appears the iPod is in recovery mode, which means it will need to be restored to factory settings using a computer. We provided the steps below.

1. If you're using a Mac with macOS Mojave or earlier or a PC, make sure that your computer has the latest version of iTunes.
2. If you have an iPod nano or iPod classic, put your iPod in Disk Mode.
3. On a Mac with macOS Catalina or later, open a Finder window. On a Mac with macOS Mojave or earlier or a PC, open iTunes. Then connect your iPod directly to your computer.
4. Find your iPod in the Finder or iTunes, then select Restore iPod.

Hope this helps. Take care.
