Hey there, devam991!
Thanks for stopping by the Apple Support Communities. From your post, I understand you're trying to update your macOS software, but are receiving an error that it can't be updated because the Macintosh HD is encrypted. I'm happy to help!
The message you're receiving tells me you have encrypted your computer with FileVault. To decrypt your computer, just turn FileVault off. You can get more information on FileVault, including instructions on turning it off, here: Use FileVault to encrypt the startup disk on your Mac - Apple Support .
Have a wonderful day!
