Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Your start up disk is the internal HD inside your MBP, apparently you have filled it up with data. If you use it to store music, photos and other data eventually it will become full. Additionally you probably should empty your trash from time to time, just like your home if you keep throwing thing into the trash eventually you need to empty it. You will either have to delete data files you no longer need or begin moving them to an external HD. Mac's need about 10-15% of the disk free to operate efficiently, if you ignore the message this is not good for your machine. External HD's are inexpensive these days and moving data files to them is a simple drag and drop operation.
