Two possible suggestions come to mind.



If neither one describes what you are encountering, please provide some more details. A screenshot or photo will help (use the "Image insertion" icon pictured below).

Mirror the Screen to this External Display:

Seems you have ransomware on your Mac. So, mirror the display to get out of this. Performing the following will mirror the Home Screen, and allow you to use it as if it were you laptop's screen.
