How to solve this?
The message means that you have not installed an Operating System (OS) into the Virtual Machine (VM).

Creating a VM in VirtualBox causes it to create a hardware simulation suitable for running the OS you selected. But, just like buying a blank PC, it's up to you to install the OS. Ideally the OS installer will come in ISO form. Most modern OS vendors offer ISO downloads, Linux ones are free.

The same error message can happen when the virtual BIOS simply does not recognize that the disk contains an OS. For example if you downloaded a GPT formatted disk but configured legacy/MBR BIOS in the VM settings. To fix this you need to enable the EFI BIOS setting (<settings>|System|Motherboard|Enable EFI).
