Re: not able to copy
I assume there's a question in there, but with zero info I'm not going to bother trying to work it out. If you want help it's up to you to put some thought into asking a clear question and providing proper diagnostic info.

Re: not able to copy
Start the VM from full normal shutdown, not save-state. Run until you see the problem happen, then shut down the VM from within the VM's OS if possible. If not possible, close the Virtualbox window for the VM with the Power Off option set.
Right-click the VM in the main Virtualbox window's VM list, choose Show Log. Save the far left tab's log, zip it, and post the zip file, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab.

Re: not able to copy
Copy and paste requires an intermediate clipboard, a feature of GUIs. If you are not running a GUI, or if you don't have the Guest Additions installed, then there cannot be a shared clipboard.
It also requires the software you are using to recognize the clipboard as a source/dest for input. On some of my Linux installs the terminal doesn't support that (I don't have details to hand, I think it was "Raspberry Pi OS", a Debian based distro).
