Verify there is a Disk:
In Disk Utility, is no hard drive seen? In the pane on the far-left, it would be the top listed item. Evening doing below that is what is called a "volume".

Erase and Install Anew:
Yes there is a hard drive seen —it is the top item on your photo labeled: “APPLE SSD AP02...”. You have selected the volume. So, select the very-top-right (the hard drive)
No there’s no hard drive seen. One of the steps to reset the the laptop was to go into disk utility and repair all the side options. It said if it doesn’t repair then to erase it. So I think I erased hard drive.

See a Question Mark?
Go here: If your Mac Starts Up to a Question Mark - Apple Support
Mount the Drive:
Boot into Recovery Mode (Hold Down: [Command + R] upon boot). Then, using Disk Utility, see if the Hard Drive is seen. If it is, then see if you need to click the “Mount’ button for it. Try rebooting once more. If of no success, then click unmount button, and then the mount button. Try rebooting once more.
Heya, I think you may have deleted your install of MacOS. Simply just reinstall MacOS through the MacOS Internet Recovery. Try here: How to reinstall macOS – Apple Support (AU)
