Mac recovery mode

I went to open my computer and it’s in recovery mode. I’m so lost this has never happened and I have no clue what to do. I followed the directions on the screen but I have no idea what I’m looking at. Can anyone help please?

Booting in Recovery Mode Unexpectedly:

Were you installing an update? If so, it may have gotten stuck. So, what happens when you restart thing the Apple button on the top-left corner of your screen? Does it boot up normally?

"Hello, no I was not installing an update. I closed the computer then opened it about 3 hours later and it was in recovery mode. When I restart it, it goes to the recovery page with recovery options."
