Well, the instructions are already written in in your screenshot, what do you mean you don't know what to do ?
This sometimes happens if you do the upgrade inside a graphical session and screenlocker is not disabled. This is why this is not recommended.
Have a look at https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Mageia_9_Release_Notes#Online-Upgrade.2C_using_urpmi_.28CLI.29 and https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Mageia_9_Errata#If_upgrade_failed
You need to complete your upgrade.

Apart from that, you didn't mention how you started the upgrade to Mageia 9 in the first place.
