This may (or not) work..

• If your Mac starts up to a blank screen - Apple Support (re: macOS recovery)

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210905


Additional details may be forthcoming.

Or you may need to run Recovery.

If you have a Time Machine backup, you could try & restart

from there. Several different instructions exist to use T.M.
